Recent reports have raised alarm within Indigenous communities in New Mexico, particularly among the Navajo Nation and the Mescalero Apache Tribe, regarding aggressive ICE raids. Following a confrontation in Ruidoso, the Mescalero Apache Tribe has advised its members on how to handle interactions with immigration agents. Multiple tribes have issued warnings amid reports of ICE targeting Native Americans, creating a climate of fear and anxiety. Local organizations are actively dispelling rumors of ICE raids in Albuquerque, yet many Indigenous people express concern over being detained during these operations. The Navajo Nation has established a tipline for its members to report any encounters with immigration agents, and tribal leaders are urging vigilance in light of reports that U.S. citizens, including Native Americans, could be swept up in these immigration sweeps. The rising incidences of ICE detaining tribal citizens have prompted calls for action from the Navajo Nation council and have sparked significant outrage over potential racial profiling.
