First Nations warn members to be cautious when entering U.S. following ICE actions
Multiple Indigenous groups report ICE detentions and urge carrying specific tribal and government IDs to prevent wrongful deportations, citing Jay Treaty protections and recent incidents.
- Amid reported ICE detentions, Saint Regis Mohawk Indian Territory and Mississauga First Nation warned members to carry IDs and call tribal police, as three Oglala Sioux Tribe members were detained earlier this year.
- Cases such as a near-deportation in November highlight enforcement risks, as a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community member arrested in Iowa was nearly deported before release, while the Jay Treaty of 1794 causes legal tensions since Canada does not recognize it but the United States does.

- Contrasts in documentation rules underscore the issue as Six Nations of the Grand River and Garden River First Nation warn, while Non-Indigenous Canadians must show passports at border crossings and use separate immigration channels.
