Post from Indigenous TV showing the flag and sign for the Oglala Sioux Tribal administration office. Post reads: The Oglala Sioux Tribe has unanimously rejected an ICE agreement — and banned ICE from Pine Ridge. During a special meeting on January 21, the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked the Tribe to enter into Section 287(g), a federal agreement that would have allowed tribal law enforcement to act as immigration agents for ICE. The Tribal Council passed two unanimous motions: • To formally reject any Section 287(g) agreement • To ban all ICE agents and activities from the Pine Ridge Reservation Council members also praised Tribal President Frank Star Comes Out for refusing the agreement, citing concerns over sovereignty, jurisdiction, and the unlawful application of immigration authority to U.S. citizens. The Tribal President is expected to issue a public notice enforcing the ban, while the Tribe awaits further updates regarding three Oglala Sioux tribal members reportedly detained at Fort Snelling.
