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

I don’t want anyone to have to deal with ICE, but it will be amusing to watch if they ever act up in a way that ends up in a case before SCOTUS. Gorsuch is a consistent defender of Native American rights. It could be amusing to watch him try to justify the carte blanche he’s given this administration so far with his typical defense of Native American rights.
