Navajo Nation leaders address reports of ICE detaining tribal citizens
Social media reports of Navajo citizens being detained by ICE prompted Navajo leaders to explore ways to protect their people.
Navajo Nation officials have contacted the governors of Arizona and New Mexico to address concerns about Navajo citizens being detained by ICE.
In response to President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally, Acting Navajo Nation Deputy Attorney General Kris Beecher recommended that tribal members carry their Certificate of Indian Blood along with other forms of identification.
This also is happening with the Mescalero Apache tribe. No one detained so far in New Mexico but close to.
