November 14th, 2025
From Seattle Times
As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.
The Nisqually Tribal Council said in a statement Friday evening it learned that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been talking to one of its staff members without consulting the council.
The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities, said Tribal Chair E.K. Choke in the statement.

And they go behind the Council's back and not consult them?
Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

This sticker questions the notion of homeland from a Native American position. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is a group of federal departments and agencies formed in 2002 after the September 11, 2001, attacks on American soil. Three of its five core missions include prevent terrorism and enhance[e] security; secure and manage our borders; and enforce and administer our immigration laws. Based on a T-shirt design by Matthew Tafoya, a Navajo, the sticker presents a negative viewpoint toward the colonization of America by European settlers. It proposes the 21st-century fight against the so-called War on Terror actually started in 1492, the date Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain and discovered the Americas. The sticker features a photograph taken in 1886 of the Bedonkohe Apache resistance fighter Geronimo (1829-1909) on the right and three armed warriors on the left. Considered to be the last Apache holdout, Geronimo fought for many years against Mexican and American settlers and their attempts to expand onto Apache tribal land.
