Wisconsin tribes advise members amid ICE actions in Twin Cities

MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Addressing concerns about ICE among Wisconsin’s tribal communities.

In posts to social media, Wisconsin Native American tribes are advising their members to have their tribal issued identification and a second form of ID with them and to be aware of their rights if they encounter ICE. Other advice includes remaining calm if approached and requesting officers to identify themselves and show official credentials.

Several Native Americans have been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid ongoing operations in the Twin Cities.

There have been no reports of ICE actions on the lands of any of Wisconsin’s 11 federally recognized tribes.
