Reports of Navajo people being detained in immigration sweeps sparks concern from tribal leaders
The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don't have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years
“The United States’ connection with the children of illegal aliens and temporary visitors is weaker than its connection with members of Indian tribes,” DOJ argued in a filing. “If the latter link is insufficient for birthright citizenship, the former certainly is,” the Trump administration argued.”
The DOJ cited an 1884 U.S. Supreme Court case, Elk v. Wilkins, in which the high court decided that “because members of Indian tribes owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.”
They’re going after Native American citizenship too.
Ah yes, the classic "quoting 1800's legal cases in matters of civil rights".
I wish y'all the best of luck in the coming four years. And frankly, the years thereafter...
"Navajo people go home!" A trumpist, most probably.
"You first" - a Navajo person, most probably
Indians aren't Americans!
-Republicans who Do Their Own Research!
Look like brown people - get treated like brown people.

Greenland, I guess maybe that's why he's in such a rush to just take it
This is unacceptable
This is the point where the mask that's come off gets burned ... Atop a cross just to shove it in the public's face extra hard. Democracy hasn't existed in this country before, but now we're seeing the ashes of anything good in the country pissed upon by a diseased and rabid dog.
