ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.

It’s happening here in Michigan. Our democratic AG has been accused repeatedly of it.
Michiganders. We need your help. Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel is weaponizing her office to target pro-Palestine advocates. @theguardian.com even published an article about it. Use this tool to demand that Nessel drop these Trumpian charges immediately: actionnetwork.org/letters/drop...
