ICE wants Washington tribes to detain immigrants for them

November 14th, 2025
From Seattle Times

As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.

The Nisqually Tribal Council said in a statement Friday evening it learned that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been talking to one of its staff members without consulting the council.

“The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities,” said Tribal Chair E.K. Choke in the statement.

1. What the hell are these ICEholes thinking?

They really believe that native Americans are going to detain immigrants for ICE?
And they go behind the Council's back and not consult them?

Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

15. Ambush & 'detain' all the white ICE men

Hey, they aren't the color of native Americans and they speak a weird language....

16. Yep, if these ICEholes step one inch on tribal property, arrest each and every one of them. nt

2. Trump and his thugs know that Washington is a Sanctuary state and wants to punish us.

The Nisqually spit in their face. Bravo for them.

4. Also tribal land is sovereign so can bypass laws and regulations.

12. Could that be used to help those ICE has targeted?

And potentially help the tribes at the same time?

3. How tone deaf, ignorant of our history is jaw dropping. First Nations know all too well being detained

Rounded up and marched off to a strange place because of the color of their skin. There’s no doubt they would say no to this stupidly

5. All those Asians

who came across Beringia. Now moated by Trump!

6. If Native Americans were to detain immigrants they would have done so 400 years ago.

7. Homeland security: fighting terrorism since 1492

Classic.

This sticker questions the notion of “homeland” from a Native American position. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is a group of federal departments and agencies formed in 2002 after the September 11, 2001, attacks on American soil. Three of its five core missions include “prevent terrorism and enhance[e] security; secure and manage our borders; and enforce and administer our immigration laws.” Based on a T-shirt design by Matthew Tafoya, a Navajo, the sticker presents a negative viewpoint toward the colonization of America by European settlers. It proposes the 21st-century fight against the so-called “War on Terror” actually started in 1492, the date Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain and “discovered” the Americas. The sticker features a photograph taken in 1886 of the Bedonkohe Apache resistance fighter Geronimo (1829-1909) on the right and three armed warriors on the left. Considered to be the last Apache holdout, Geronimo fought for many years against Mexican and American settlers and their attempts to expand onto Apache tribal land.
