Oglala Sioux Tribe: 3 members arrested in Minnesota, detained by ICE
The Oglala Sioux Tribe argues detained members are U.S. citizens by statute and covered by treaty rights; three remain in ICE custody at Fort Snelling, tribe demands their release.
- On Friday, Frank Star Comes Out demanded the release of three tribal members detained by ICE in Minneapolis and transferred to the Fort Snelling ICE facility.
- On claims of jurisdiction, the Oglala Sioux leadership argues the detainees are `citizens of the United States by statute` and `citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty`, and the tribal memorandum asserts tribal citizens are `not aliens` and `categorically outside immigration jurisdiction`.
- The tribe says it received only partial detainee details from federal agencies, and DHS had not responded to the tribe's requests, according to a memorandum to Secretary Kristi Noem.
- The tribe said the three detainees were homeless and living under a bridge in Minneapolis, emphasizing Star Comes Out's declaration that `Our citizens are not negotiable`.
- Facing broader enforcement patterns, the tribe insists it will not authorize ICE or Homeland Security on its land as advocates note Indigenous Americans face targeted crackdowns.
