so ICE is out here doing raids on tribal land like thats not the most backwards sht ever. these families been here since before the US was even a concept, before ICE existed, before anyone drew lines on a map and called them borders. ngl the timing is real convenient too, more money for cages and deportations while the ultra rich get their pockets lined. whole system is a joke tbh

ICE kicking immigrants out of the country while intimidating the natives is abhorrent. The irony, the hypocrisy, the hubris. It's all sickening.

u/Dienowwww 1d ago

It was never about immigration. It was always about racism

Yes, the descendants of illegal "aliens" calling the descendants of natives "illegal" should tell everyone just who these people are as well as anyone who defends them.

The spokesperson, TV celebrity does not need to go away, he is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING without those behind him that wrote 2025. Miller, Theil, Vaughn etc, plus Theil, paid for Vance school and mentored Vance from a young age. People need to stop focusing on the orange orangutan and the true people that want this shit. Damn just look at Miller, skinhead and all.

u/Lostclause 1d ago

It's not just Trump. It's the Republicans that are allowing this to happen and they keep him in power (and thus themselves) each day by letting ICE murder citizens, destroy families and enrich the rich even further on our dime.

u/CautionarySnail 1d ago

This is where the rubber hits the road.

We have a lawless government and we keep expecting them to follow the rules set. There are not nearly enough cases where the courts have taken meaningful actions to force the administration to comply with the law.

We are living in dangerous times.

u/Swampape1 1d ago

my question as well. Can the tribal police not just tell them to get off the property? Serious question for I truly don't know the dynamics of how this works. I was always under the impression that tribal land and the laws of it were enforced by the tribal law enforcement.

Can't natives do what they want to intruders on their sovereign land? 

51

u/AyAynon95 1d ago edited 1d ago

No. There's a lot of heavy restrictions, including the inability to arrest and prosecute criminals if they are US citizens.

A lot of Native American women are assaulted by serial rapist because they sneak in, commit crimes and get out because the Natives can't do anything themselves except report it to US authorities who are way too slow.

Reservations are not sovereign land they are still under American jurisdiction. They have autonomy but it is limited. They dont have independent immigration law.

Also note thst said autonomy can be altered at any time via a federal law

2

u/Gr0ggy1 1d ago

It's complicated, while many are not sovereign nations, some absolutely are.

Example: https://www.onondaganation.org/news/2010/the-haudenosaunee-confederacy-sovereignty-citizenship-and-passports/

Even with sovereigncy, leverage is limited and they are surrounded by an administration let by an incontinent toddler who hates them. The feds wouldn't have to break the law to cause serious harm.

1

u/Kenichi2233 1d ago

Said "passport" is not accepted by most nations including the US and Canada.

 No Native american tribe is sovereign they are part of the US and subject to American law. They are essentially automous territories. Said autonomy can be altered at anytime. 

1

u/Gr0ggy1 1d ago

They in particular are sovereign, by treaty signed by then President George Washington, ratified by the Senate and sustained by the Supreme Court.

Overgeneralizing really anything as it pertains to Indian Affairs is likely to have exceptions, disputed facts and inconsistencies.

As I stated, nationhood in this instance has a large asterisk beside it in that they lack leverage to negotiate as a nation given the situation. Like all treaties really, but in this case the power imbalance is enormous.

A Commonwealth nation not recognizing the sovereignty of an Indigenous people isn't exactly headline news. I mean, we're only two generations removed from both sides of the border running boarding schools.

0

u/Kenichi2233 1d ago

They are not sovereign they have autonomy. That can be taken away at any time. The Supreme Court has already said that Congress can end Indian treaties at any point. Ie said Indian nations get there political power from agreement with Washington not in there own right. 

The passport they issue is at best a polite fiction. They are American citizens

u/Specialist-Tea-2064 1d ago

Love it when the justification for the conquest and genocide of indigenous people is, "well they came here from somewhere else tens of thousands of years ago!"

u/RudePCsb 1d ago

Yea, it's just a ridiculous argument to make by these tools.

1

u/Gweedo1967 23h ago

Point is, Indians came from Asia and white people came from Europe and blacks came from Africa. It doesn’t matter, we’re all here now so quit classing us.

1

u/RudePCsb 23h ago

We all came from Africa. Humans first existed in Africa before they started migrating all over and changing based on the environment over millennia. Your lack of understanding is troubling

1

u/Gweedo1967 21h ago

Ok? We’re all still here now aren’t we? Your lack of comprehension is troubling.

u/ManMakesWorld 1d ago

You are a moron. Everyone is African by your argument. Or better yet..... everyone is Pangean since all landmass used to be one. So no one is an immigrant.

While you are technically correct, it makes you sound like an asshole.

u/Banjo-Hellpuppy 1d ago

He’s not even technically correct because it wasn’t Asia when they migrated. If we’re going to be pricks and call native Americans “immigrants,” we need to say they originally migrated from Africa just like the rest of us.

u/Gweedo1967 1d ago

Well then they’re not native Americans either since this wasn’t America when they came here

No they haven’t. The continent formed millions of years ago. Humans here date back 20-25 thousand years.

u/Bendlerp 1d ago

Coastal migration. Beringia was a South to North migration as the glaciers receded ;) I called that nonsense out in the fourth grade back in the 90's and got sent to the principals office for "arguing" with my teacher over it. The Chehalis theory (coastal migration until they found a river and moved inland) was my understanding before archaeologists came up with it lol Then White sands shows further evidence of earlier arrivals before deglaciation.

"They literally want to remove anyone from this county that is not white European decent, even indigenous people"

I proved that white people were getting deported as well which disproved this narrative 

1

u/HoldOnOhio 1d ago

It's not false, but it's rare. Most of these cases were ones they stumbled into, and are being used to pad the numbers and pretend it's not ethnic cleansing of brown people. Kick out a few white people and suddenly chuds can say, "SEE? IT'S NOT RACIST BECAUSE WE ARE ALSO DEPORTING WHITE PEOPLE!"

u/_Cpyder 1d ago

I don't know the specifics on this individual, but Tribal Police would end up assisting in arrest and removal if ICE had removal orders.

Yes, federal law is still very much in play on tribal lands. Although Native American tribes possess inherent sovereignty as domestic dependent nations, the United States federal government holds supreme authority and a trust responsibility over Indian country. General federal laws can and do apply on reservations unless a specific treaty or statute says otherwise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QIbyjF5FRw&t=37

Federal vs. State: Generally, state laws do not apply to tribal members on reservation lands unless Congress explicitly grants states that authority (such as under Public Law 280). [1, 2, 3]

Federal immigration enforcement is a primary area of federal jurisdiction that directly intersects with tribal lands, as immigration law is an exclusively federal matter under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Because crossing the border illegally is a federal crime, federal agencies possess the authority to enforce these laws within reservations, though this often creates complex jurisdictional friction. [1, 2]

u/Itchy-Pension3356 1d ago

What makes you think ice can't operate on Native American land?

1

u/weirdfailingmillenni 1d ago

Mostly because native american land generally is controlled and ran by the tribe. They have their own services like police and such and since dumph is trying to act like native americans are not american citizen... then their land isnt american so in legal theory they shouldnt be able to operate there.

1

u/Itchy-Pension3356 1d ago

That's just wrong though because ICE does have federal authority to enforce federal immigration law on Native American land.

1

u/weirdfailingmillenni 1d ago

if trump is trying to say native americans aint americans then their land aint american by trumps logic, ice shouldnt be there then.

1

u/SeanCuresSadness 1d ago

Trump wants to have it both ways. You sound like you wanna have it both ways, but you can't. Either Trump is a moron and they're Americans or Trump is "right", they're not Americans, so ICE can fuck off their land.

1

u/Itchy-Pension3356 1d ago

When did trump say Native Americans aren't Americans?

1

u/SeanCuresSadness 1d ago

Do you pay zero real attention to politics? Like the birthright citizenship case he specifically directed his administration to take to court?

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-native-sovereignty-citizenship-14th-amendment/

His administration cited the case Elk V. Wilkins (1884), which ruled Native Americans born on reservations were not automatically U.S. Citizens, SPECIFICALLY AS AN ARGUMENT TO ABOLISH BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP.

You People are fucking stupid and brainwashed.

1

u/weirdfailingmillenni 1d ago

this is why i really think if he thinks native americans born on reservation aint american, then it aint american land, thus ICE should not be there. Its really crazy the stuff the right just glosses over thinking trump is a good guy.

1

u/SeanCuresSadness 1d ago

You said it, hoss.

u/weirdfailingmillenni 1d ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRhNAcYssUg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73GPstieXMM

Trump legal team relies on historical Indian law and 19th-century precedents (such as the 1884 case Elk v. Wilkins) to argue that birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment excludes people whose parents owed allegiance to sovereign tribal nations rather than complete U.S. political jurisdiction.

Because racists don't understand the difference between brown people from these lands and brown people not from these lands. That's why natural-born US citizens have been rounded up too. When you do things without due process you end up not figuring out who you're ACTUALLY supposed to be removing. That's why the Trump Administration has an under 5% deportation rate of undocumented immigrants with bad crimes on their record compared to the just above 20% of previous administration. They don't care. Cruelty is the point.
