She's 65 years old, notable career. She asked the men to call the tribal office, and they refused. So she called, and they tried to take her phone.
Two of her family members were also accused of having "fake ID," had been detained and let go.
Shame on ICE, shame on Noem, shame on Trump. #shame

My fave game at No Quarter: Ride a Citibike thru 3D low-poly NYC to a destination while audience checks Google map to tell you which way to go. The ride is more parkour than Tour de France, climbing walls and obstacles, and defying physics.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
