Native American Tribes Issue Warnings over ICE Racial Profiling Claims

Last week, Native American communities raised alarms after reports of citizens being questioned and detained despite indigenous status, with the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians condemning ICE's use of intimidation and racial profiling.
Surges in agent deployments followed protests and broader policy moves on immigration enforcement, with Renee Nicole Good's killing prompting scrutiny as agents have shot 11 people since September.
Tribal officials later walked back parts of the detention claims on Thursday after Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out said last week several members were held and Minneapolis and Oglala Sioux Tribe continue verification efforts.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin denied profiling claims, stating ICE sought basic identity details, not tribal agreements, while the Native American Rights Fund opposed recent ICE interactions.
Tribal leaders issued step-by-step guidance for members interacting with immigration officials, with the Native American Rights Fund fact sheet urging recording encounters and carrying state-issued ID or Tribal ID.
