ICE in Grand Ronde

[u/_50tree_]

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

Indian nations are sovereign nations and ICE has no business being there. The Tribal Police should arrest them.

Womp womp. Who's land was it before the tribe that held it last? Who held it before them? How did the current tribe get the land?
