#NativeAmerican tribes say #ICE harassing members amid raids

"Some Native American tribes say tribal members are being harassed by federal immigration agents, while others fear they could be wrongly caught up in immigration raids.

Why it matters: The angst among some #Indigenous tribes reflects the confusion and fear even among legal citizens during the #Trump administration's immigration raids.

The big picture: Several tribes have issued warnings and advice to their members based on what they say have been encounters in which U.S. immigration agents have demanded proof of citizenship — episodes that the tribes have linked to #RacialProfiling.

The alarm comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says its agents are arresting more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants a day, part of President Trump's push to deport "millions" of people not authorized to stay in the U.S.

Immigration raids in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles — and Trump's new directives to allow searches in schools and churches in addition to workplaces and homes — have heightened concerns in communities across the country.

Zoom in: The #NavajoNation, one of the nation's largest tribes, said federal immigration agents have been questioning its members.

"My office has received multiple reports from Navajo citizens that they have had negative, and sometimes traumatizing, experiences with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants," Navajo President #BuuNygren said in a statement.

Navajo Nation officials told CNN on Monday that at least 15 Indigenous people in the southwestern U.S. have reported being questioned or detained by immigration officers in the past week.

The 17.5 million-acre Navajo Nation is in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. It's larger than 10 states.

ICE offices in Utah and Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment.

Zoom out: The #MescaleroApache Tribe in New Mexico announced that a member was confronted by ICE agents last week and was asked for ID — first in Spanish, although the member spoke English.

The #SissetonWahpetonOyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation in South Dakota said it was temporarily waiving all fees for issuing or replacing tribal IDs amid members' concerns about ICE encounters.
#Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee — the tribe's governing body — promised in a statement Saturday to "aggressively defend our rights and interests."
The tribe offered legal counsel to members who are "improperly detained or questioned," as did the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah.

The San Juan Southern #Paiute Tribe, whose land crosses the Utah-Arizona border, advised its citizens to record encounters with ICE, ask for agents' badges and keep their doors closed and ask for a warrant if approached at home.

What they're saying: Trump's immigration executive orders have "raised concern among our tribal members, particularly regarding the potential targeting of our community by immigration agents," #ChippewaCree Tribe chairman Harat BaRete said in a statement.

The north-central Montana tribe then released a set of guidelines urging members to remain silent, keep ID handy and report encounters to tribal officials.
"The #RosebudSioux Tribe is in the process of assessing the legal effects of the unlawful and unconstitutional Trump administration Executive Orders and will fiercely defend against any threat to the sovereignty," the South Dakota tribe said in a statement.

Between the lines: It's not unusual for ICE or DEA agents to enter tribal lands for immigration or drug enforcement.

Since the Obama administration, U.S. agents have aggressively targeted human smuggling rings that use isolated Indigenous lands to try to move undetected.

Congress didn't grant citizenship to Native Americans until 1924 — a development President Trump's lawyers cited in their attempt to justify his temporarily blocked executive order to overturn birthright citizenship.

The administration's attorneys last week invoked an 1884 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that denied citizenship to members of tribes to argue that "birth in the United States does not by itself entitle a person to citizenship."

Some tribal leaders saw the argument as a threat against their members' U.S. citizenship."

ICE and Trump Brown Shirts have targeted and detained over 100 Native Americans in the past week demanding their papers!

It is not fear mongering to say this is only a small preview of normalized #whiteNationalism and the return of a new, improved #JimCrow.

This seems like an act of revenge on the part of #KristiNoem because some of the tribes in South Dakota have banned her from their lands. Personally, I think the faculty members have a good case for violation of #FreeSpeech...

#Pronouns and #TribalAffiliations are now forbidden in #SouthDakota public university employee emails

"The policy is billed by the board as a simple branding and communications policy. It came only months after Republican Gov. Kristi Noem sent a letter to the regents that railed against '#liberal ideologies' on college campuses and called for the board to ban #DragShows on campus and 'remove all references to preferred pronouns in school materials,' among other things."

"A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping #NativeAmerican employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes.

"Two University of South Dakota faculty members, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw and her husband, John Little, have long included their gender pronouns and tribal affiliations in their work email signature blocks. But both received written warnings from the university in March that doing so violated a policy adopted in December by the South Dakota Board of Regents.

"'I was told that I had 5 days to remove my tribal affiliation and pronouns,' Little said in an email to The Associated Press. 'I believe the exact wording was that I had ‘5 days to correct the behavior.’ If my tribal affiliation and pronouns were not removed after the 5 days, then administrators would meet and make a decision whether I would be suspended (with or without pay) and/or immediately terminated.'"

Today in Labor History June 17, 1876: U.S. army soldiers attacked an encampment of Lakota and Cheyenne in Rosebud, South Dakota. Led by Crazy Horse, the native warriors routed the Americans. The Cheyenne called it the Battle Where the Girl Saved Her Brother because the fight involved Buffalo Calf Road Woman, who courageously road out into the middle of the battle, grabbed her brother, and carried him to safety. The area had been promised to the tribes through treaties, signed after they had won previous battles. However, when gold was discovered in the Black Hills, the U.S. government wanted the land. Buffalo Calf Road Woman also fought at Little Bighorn, alongside her husband, Black Coyote. She was the one who struck the blow that knocked Custer off his horse, resulting in his death.

So, again, it's okay for the #BorderPatrol (#MurderPatrol) to assassinate an unarmed #NativeAmerican man (#RaymondMattia) and a #LithiumMining employee to run over a #NativeAmericanActivist (#MyronDewey), but those acts aren't #Terrorism? I guess it's all about how much MONEY and CLOUT the victim has, eh?

Gaslighting and fear mongering are not what I'm voting for this year. Apologies that come too late, and the promise of lower grocery prices should not be promises that get your vote over a genocide that is currently happening.

My videos are being suppressed, and that should tell you all you need to know about this app, and other social media platforms....
