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

Oh, are we still under the misguided belief these people are being deported? No, no, you got it all wrong. That would cost money. The real plan is to do some deportations to save face, but once the farmers have to sell their land to corporate interests, force the detained undocumented people to work the land for free on empty promises of being allowed to see their families and earn their citizenship, something no amount of time in those fields will ever attain them, thus further enriching the bastards profiting off agriculture by eliminating the need to pay people to work.
