Leaders of the Oglala Sioux Tribe say three of their adult members have been taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Minneapolis. The tribe's president, Frank Star Comes Out, said in a statement that four homeless tribal members were picked up by enforcement agents near shelters in south Minneapolis.
One of the four has since been released, while the remaining three are said to be held at an ICE facility at Fort Snelling. The tribe is demanding their immediate release, saying the detentions are unlawful and a violation of treaty rights because tribal citizens are also United States citizens.
