    This situation has become really tense and emotionally charged. Tribal leaders from the Oglala Sioux Tribe say four of their enrolled citizens were picked up by ICE agents in Minneapolis and that three of them are being held at the Fort Snelling facility, a place with a painful history for Indigenous people because it was once used to imprison Native Americans after the Dakota War in the 1860s. The tribe insists these men are U.S. citizens with treaty rights and shouldn’t be in immigration custody, and they’re demanding answers and their immediate release. There’s been confusion and conflicting statements from federal officials about what actually happened and why, which is only adding to the outrage and calls for transparency.

    If this shit is ever over, the ICE officers and the current administration, including the elected people in Congress who’s supporting this, must be hung. I know it’s dark, but humanity will always go this route unless we fucking do something!

    I guarantee you the ICE Nazis were saying ignorant shit like, “you should go back to your own country”.
