Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention

And homeland security is not giving much info

quote:

The president of Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.

Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling, President Frank Star Comes Out said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,’” Star Comes Out said. “Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.” Details about the circumstances that led to their detention were unclear.

quote:

Last year, elected leaders in the Navajo Nation said that tribal citizens in Arizona and New Mexico reported being stopped and detained by ICE officers. In November, a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona who had been arrested in Iowa was mistakenly scheduled to be deported before the error was caught and she was released.

quote:

In the memorandum sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Star Comes Out said the when tribal nation reached out to the agency it was provided with only the first names of the men. Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.”

As previously stated multiple times, I wholeheartedly support the legal deportation of illegal immigrants. I do not, however, support the detainment or deportation of American citizens.

Star Comes Out said his earlier statement had been “misinterpreted” and that there was no such demand from federal officials. He said the tribe had been in “cooperative communications” with federal officials about the issue and that federal officials had said that “one option for the Tribe to have easier access to information is to enter into an immigration agreement” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS. He did not specify what type of agreement.

He also said the tribe was “working with Tribal, State, and Federal officials to verify” reports that tribal members living in Minneapolis were arrested by ICE. Earlier in the week he said he had been “made aware that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained four Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis” and that the tribe had their first names. He called the arrests “a treaty violation.”

This was debunked 12 hours ago - the info from the Star Tribune and AP was highly curated to mislead.

Chief Star Comes Out still hasn’t commented on the follow up because the whole thing is an attention grab for the local reservations to gain a place at the victim Olympics trough.

Read it and weep:

PJ Media is generally classified as a right-wing, conservative commentary and news website, rather than a neutral or objective news outlet. It is owned by the Salem Media Group, which specializes in conservative content.

Here is a breakdown of its characteristics:
Political Bias: The site is heavily conservative and produces opinion-driven, rather than objective, reporting.

Reliability & Accuracy: According to data from Ad Fontes Media, PJ Media has a low reliability score, with content often characterized by sensationalized headlines and, at times, inaccurate or unverified information.
