Native tribes address Trump's birthright citizenship order

Following a temporary block on President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, Native tribes have issued statements. The Shoshone-Paiute, Shoshone-Bannock, and Coeur d'Alene Tribes reaffirm their sovereignty and constitutional rights. The tribes emphasize their long-standing presence on the land and commitment to protecting their people. The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes cited the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, while the Coeur d'Alene Tribe reminded that they will remain steadfast in their fight for what is rightfully theirs.
