Update: Oglala Sioux Tribe president walks back ICE claims

🤔 I'm getting so frustrated with this stuff. I mean, what's going on here? We got the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe claiming that his people are being targeted by ICE officers, but it seems like there's some confusion about who's in charge and who gets to make decisions.

I think it's crazy that the agency is refusing to release more info about these detainees unless the tribe agrees to an immigration deal. Like, what's the point of even having a treaty if you're just gonna ignore it? And I'm also worried about the fact that tribal members are being told they're not "real" citizens because of their ID... that's some messed up stuff.

We need to make sure we're standing with our Native American communities and fighting for their rights. They've been through so much already, and this kind of treatment is just unacceptable. We should be talking about how to support them, not trying to deport them. 🚫👎
 
dude I'm low-key worried about this situation 🤕. according to stats from 2020, there were 2.6 million Native Americans living in the US 📊. out of that number, only 22% reported being a citizen by birth (source: census.gov 📈). meanwhile, the US has the highest incarceration rate for Indigenous Americans - 4 times higher than non-Native Americans 🚔.

chart alert! 📊 here are some numbers to consider:

* 70% of Native American communities have limited access to healthcare services 🏥
* 40% of Native American children live in poverty 🤑
* 1 in 3 Native American women experience domestic violence 💔

these facts got me thinking... if we want to address immigration concerns, shouldn't we focus on systemic issues affecting Indigenous Americans? like poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, etc. 🤯 rather than just piling it all onto our borders?

anywayz, I'm no expert but it seems like we gotta approach this situation with a more holistic perspective 👀.
 
OMG this is so concerning!!! I'm literally shaking just thinking about it 🤯 ICE officers detaining people from the Oglala Sioux Tribe? Like what even is going on?! 😱 The fact that they were taken without any information or context is just wow... it's like, don't they know who these ppl are?! 🙄 We gotta stand with Frank Star Comes Out and the whole tribe here, 'cause this is all about respecting tribal sovereignty and treaties. We can't let the gov't mess with our indigenous fams like this 😔
 
OMG 🤯 this is so not okay! 😡 ICE agents are just doing their job, but come on, can't they see that these people are literally living off the land? My heart goes out to the three homeless tribe members being held captive - what did they even do wrong?! 💔 They're US citizens by statute and treaty, for crying out loud! 🤷‍♀️ Frank Star Comes Out is right on the money when he says treaties aren't optional... let's just hope Secretary Noem gets back to him ASAP so these guys can get released already! 🙏
 
OMG 🤯 this is soooo concerning! Like, what even is going on here? The Oglala Sioux Tribe president thinks he's being super clever by playing dumb about his tribe members being detained by ICE, but honestly it just sounds like a huge power move to me 😒. I mean, if they're truly US citizens by statute and treaty, then why are they being detained in the first place? It's all so suspicious 🤔.

And can we talk about tribal sovereignty for a sec? Like, I get it, it's super important, but come on, can't you just have a chill conversation with the government instead of making a big show about it? 🙄 This whole situation is just giving me major anxiety 💀. We need to do better than this, fam 💖
