Looks like Ice is cracking down on Native Americans

[red dog 1]

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

1. They are evil little shits

Leave the fucking indigenous alone.

[wcmagumba]

4. Yes they are, seems like ICE is made up of former "Proud Boys" and others of that ilk...T-rump's Brown Shirts...

[LuckyCharms]

2. That must be because they're illegal immigrants.

[Mister Ed]

7. Yeah! Deport 'em all back to where they came from!

Bitter

3. ICE is Trump's gestapo. We need to put a stop to them.

[yellow dahlia]

5. Not only are they citizens.

They are the FIRST citizens.

[Justice matters.]

13. According to pedo the corrupted, it's not because Danes accosted in Greenland

a few centuries ago that they own it...

So following his demented logic, it's also not because Brits accosted on the East Coast a few centuries ago and renamed it the United States ( after the "colonies" ) that they own the place, right?

6. They have been harassing them all along.

It's been really bad in Arizona. It seems like every other day, there are reports of ICEhole goons trying to arrest Native Americans. And, a few weeks ago, in Washington state, they went after Elaine Miles (Marilyn from "Northern Exposure" ) while she was waiting on a bus to take her to Target.

8. These are the DUMBEST motherfuckers imaginable.

SO. FUCKING. DUMB.

[Wednesdays]

15. What if they know exactly what they're doing?

That's even worse.

[cliffside]

9. Kick and ...

I put a link to this thread and another story in LBN as links stay on the first page longer.

Thanks for posting.

10. Unspeakable.

[JMCKUSICK]

11. Can you imagine if ICE actually showed up on the Red Lake Reservation?

They'd get educated.

[Marcuse]

12. !

14. Proud to say I have rejected Thanksgiving since 1992.

Have not wavered in my contempt for it all these years. Fake holiday created by racist assholes. If you must participate in it, I suggest boloney sandwiches.

And just weeks ago the Racist-In-Chief was doing that stupid-ass, turkey pardon thing. Now, he wants to deport, or kill, Native American Indians. WTF?

[dlk]

16. Where do the ICE idiots think Native Americans come from?

They are ignorant thugs whose sole purpose is to terrorize Americans.

[gordianot]

17. I can see it now across the land Bridge to Siberia you go!

[flashman13]

18. The fact that Chairman Running Bear feels it necessary to tell tribal members to carry there tribal papers is appalling.

There are no people more American than those of the First Nations. Trump couldn't care less about tribal sovereignty or rights. He just sees dark complected people.

19. My ideal response to ICE goons that show up to arrest Native Americans

“You want me to go back to where I and my family came? Done deal! I’m here. Now it’s your turn.”

[GreatGazoo]

20. Why the heck would Grueskin use the phrase "cracking down on" ?

They aren't criminals.

Per Cambridge:
crack down (v): to start dealing with bad or illegal behavior in a more severe way

Bad ally. Language matters.

[GusBob]

21. I don't know who the Bill is or if he has been paying attention

Most all the Tribes everywhere have posted similar messages starting months ago.
Many Tribes are making sure their enrolled members are getting IDs. The one we work for in Wisconsin expanded they office time for it and dropped the fee last year
