Submitted by United Indian Nations of OklahomaTULSA, Okla. – United Indian Nations of Oklahoma is issuing an advisory to Tribal citizens across Oklahoma to remain vigilant and to carry Tribal identification, along with any state- or federally-issued identification they may possess. This advisory comes amid expanded immigration enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following recent White House directives. In recent weeks, dozens of Tribal citizens across the country have been questioned or detained regarding their citizenship status, despite being enrolled Tribal members or United States citizens. “Thirty-eight federally recognized tribes are headquartered in Oklahoma, and Tribal citizens from hundreds of Native nations call this state home,” said Ben Barnes, chairperson of United Indian Nations of Oklahoma. “United Indian Nations of Oklahoma will continue to closely monitor this evolving situation and will share additional guidance and information as it becomes available,” Barnes said.
