Recent reports from Navajo Nation officials indicate that at least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have been stopped, questioned, or detained by federal law enforcement during immigration raids. These actions have caused panic within tribal communities and are part of the Trump administration's efforts to increase undocumented immigrant arrests nationwide.
The exact number of Navajo and other Indigenous tribal citizens apprehended is still under investigation. The Navajo Nation Council has reached out to various authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security, governors of Arizona and New Mexico, and ICE, to address these reports.
