Recent reports of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detaining Navajo citizens during immigration sweeps have raised alarms among tribal leaders. The Navajo Nation council has called for immediate action and cautioned residents about the potential for further raids, particularly in urban areas. Concurrently, the Mescalero Apache Tribe expressed its worries following an incident involving an ICE confrontation with a tribal member. To combat fears, advocates suggest that U.S. citizens, including Indigenous individuals, should carry identification such as birth certificates amid increased immigration enforcement activities.
