"This is a rage post so I'll keep it short. ICE arresting and holding Oglala Sioux tribal members is just one of many steps too far by this administration. The tribal leaders do not, under any circumstances, have to comply with ICE for anything. And they certainly don't need to sign an 'immigration agreement' to be able to find out what happened to their detained loved ones. This is beyond ridiculous."

Federal immigration enforcement detained and held Oglala Sioux tribal members, triggering strong condemnation. The arrests are characterized as an excessive overreach by the current administration. Tribal leaders are legally and morally positioned to refuse cooperation with ICE. No immigration agreement is required for tribal authorities to obtain information about detained community members. Families and communities are being denied transparency about detained loved ones. The actions undermine tribal sovereignty and community trust. Immediate access to detainee information and respect for tribal governance are presented as necessary remedies.
