ACLU warns Indigenous people in North Dakota to carry ID amid ICE reports

The ACLU of North Dakota is advising Indigenous residents, especially those near the Fort Berthold Reservation, to carry both state and tribal IDs amid reports of heightened ICE activity. With concerns over mistaken arrests, the ACLU stresses that having proof of U.S. citizenship could prevent wrongful detention. In response, 15 U.S. senators have called for better training of ICE agents to recognize tribal IDs. For more info, stay informed on your rights and the situation in your community.
