Congress calls out ICE harassment
Members of Congress, including Rep. Jared Huffman and Sen. Martin Heinrich, have sent a letter to President Trump urging an end to the harassment and questioning of Native American citizens by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The letter condemns these actions as unconstitutional, violating Tribal sovereignty, and fostering fear in Native communities. Lawmakers demand immediate action to halt racial profiling, prevent ICE harassment, and recognize Tribal identification as valid proof of citizenship.
