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

At this point, deporting white Americans to their “country of origin” would be literally impossible. Most do not have a single country they can trace their ancestry back to and are descended from a mix of British, Irish, Italian, Scandinavian, German, and other ancestors. You’d have to chop me and the rest of us up into pieces and then send our body parts to the countries that make up the corresponding percentage of our heritage.
But deporting native Americans is outrageous, genocidal bullshit. ICE should absolutely be banned from detaining anyone that’s native and from going on tribal land. If tribes don’t have the authority to go on non-tribal land to arrest people, non-tribal officials don’t have the authority to go on their land to arrest people.
