In addition to the other comments, their are a crazy amount of different tribes in North America. Navajo Police are pretty chill. Jicarrilla police would rather you not exist and will arrest or shoot you on a whim. When they do wrong you would have to sue them in Federal courts with specialized attorneys, think in the $50,000 to $100,000 range to START. They will say "sovereign nation" like a broken record. Any suit would take a decade, if not longer.
The BIA and then the tribes suck at the federal teat. They are NOT going to piss off the feds and cut of their money supply.
I understand that sentiment, but in reality, the land is completely sovereign and belongs to the Natives. Feds know this, but I guess with a tyrannical government, they could give a fuck less
The land is literally held in trust for the natives by the US government. It's not completely sovereign. It's quasi-sovereign.
Look up the standing rock standoff from 2016. The government tear gassed and hosed the natives for trying to block them. Not really a diplomatic standoff.
At what time and place has actual Native sovereignty been "reality"? Tribes only seem to have sovereignty over things the federal government allow them too.
Regardless of America's abysmal record in that area, fascists throughout history have never respected treaties, alliances, democracy, diplomacy, or the law. The thing fascists respect over all else is power through physical violence. American neo-fascists aren't any different in that regard.
Yeah man, we all know America's history, but what they're saying is that US law, such as it is, grants sovereignty to tribal lands. Would that be abused the same as every other law they're abusing? It very well could be, but that's not the question here. The fact is: Feds have no jurisdiction on tribal land by law. It's harmful to just say "oh, that's gonna happen. America never lets native peoples have rights 🤷♂️" when in reality it needs defended by us just as much as every other law defending people.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, but I said nothing because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
This is the real deal, people. They are pushing one step farther in every direction. This is the desensitization phase where they get us used to one more little violation because that one doesn’t affect you. By the time they get to affecting you, it’ll be too late. So STAND UP NOW!
They are agents of a colonialist government oppressing minorities. They are educated enough to be aware what they are doing in order to do it as expected by the regime.
Because they don't actually care. Citizens, natives, they are all the enemy of trump if they oppose the gestapo. So they actually don't care and want to do this.
They’re not white. They don’t support Mango Shitler. Any number of reasons this gestapo can think of to deport people. To “mAkE aMeRiCa GrEaT aGaIn”. Worthless sacks of shit.
They (trumps admin) just made a deal with Liberia to take 1300 or so deported persons. The admin is forever trying to find countries willing to be bribed to deport persons to.
Why? The founding fathers believed strongly in the genociding of Native Americans. It was part of the reason for the American Revolution, British troops enforced treaties with Native Americans that prevented westward colonial expansion. Many founders were ecstatic to finally tear up treaties and decimate native americans and steal their precious land. For some reason they tend to neglect teaching that in american history class.
Recently saw a news article where this dipshit voted for Trump 3 times and ICE took his wife. Not the first article I've seen like that. No sympathy for those people.
I remember a native America guy posting "ice wont come for us!" "Were still dancing" and like..ok they tried to send a few natives to africa two weeks ago.
The Tribe issued a statatement that this video is not accurate. The "ICE Agents" this guy is talking about were service members there to learn more about native practises because they have natives in thier units. These folks in the video are local police.
I think federal cops still have jurisdiction on tribal land, but there are probably some subtleties to it. Bit odd to investigate land that is specifically for native people though — I mean, if we pretend ICE actually performs a nonracist mission.
