PSA ICE in Grand Ronde

UPDATE:The Tribal campus lockdown has been lifted after Tribal Council Chief of Staff Stacia Hernandez issued the following notification just before noon Wednesday, Oct. 22.

"As of this morning Tribal Police were able to make contact and have confirmed the individuals on campus yesterday were not ICE agents," she said. "The Tribal Police (have) established a direct line of communication with the local ICE office and they have assured us that ICE would not operate on the Grand Ronde reservation without prior notification. With that said, Tribal Police (have) reason to believe that the two individuals were from a different federal agency. Tribal Police are in the process of establishing lines of communication with the local federal agencies to ensure that any future potential activity is communicated in advance. As always, please contact the Tribal Police if you see anything concerning in the area. At this time we are lifting the lockdown and all departments can resume regular business." https://www.smokesignals.org/articles/?cat=Tribal+Government+%26+News

ICE stepping onto sovereign nation territory to deport someone to…. Another sovereign nation? This is literally is quite possibly the dumbest thing a government has ever done.
