By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, January 28, 2026

"Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut issued a Presidential Proclamation today banning both ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol from the Oglala Lakota Nation. The #OglalaSioux Tribal Council banned ICE, and rejected an agreement to work with immigration officials, on January 21.

"President Star Comes Out points out in the Proclamation today that the U.S. Border Patrol is working with ICE in its 'unlawful conduct against Native people in #Minneapolis' -- which is within the Aboriginal Territory of the Great Sioux Nation.

"Calling it 'egregious conduct,' the President's Proclamation states that ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are targeting minorities throughout the United States, and Native people are being detained and injured, in violation of Treaties and civil rights."

"The president of Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.

"Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at #FortSnelling, President #FrankStarComesOut said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

" 'The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,' Star Comes Out said. 'Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.'

"Details about the circumstances that led to their detention were unclear.

"In the memorandum sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Star Comes Out said the when tribal nation reached out to the agency it was provided with only the first names of the men. Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe 'entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.' "

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 15, 2026

MINNEAPOLIS -- "ICE's violence continued on Wednesday night with another #ICEShooting. Three #Lakotas arrested by ICE remain disappeared at Fort Snelling, the long time site of the genocide of #Dakota people.

"In the search for the three disappeared Lakotas, Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut says he refuses to cut a deal with ICE, which ICE is demanding to release more information.

"Meanwhile, a whistleblower has leaked the secret ICE operations underway -- including the targeting of #activists, recruiting informants in jail, and 'Operation A' exploiting migrants for intelligence.

"Both the #TohonoOodham Nation government, and #Navajo President #BuuNygren, play roles by recruiting and promoting ICE agents."

#ICE Murdered Legal Observer in #Minneapolis -- Now Detaining Four #OglalaLakota in Migrant Sweeps

""There are 8,000 Red Lake residents currently living in the Twin Cities in the immediate neighborhoods where ICE is presently terrorizing residents," the #RedLakeNation said, expressing deep concern that #Ojibwe, known as #Chippewa and #Anishinaabe, will be abused."

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 8, 2026

"Oglala President #FrankStarComesOut said, 'I have been made aware that #ICE (Department of Homeland Security) has detained four of our tribal members in #Minneapolis,' Star Comes Out said late today.

" 'The four men are homeless and were living under the bridge near the #LittleEarth housing project. A bystander (also an #OglalaSioux Tribal Member) was able to get the information out of them that they are members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe but did not get names."

"The Oglala Lakota Nation in #PineRidge, South Dakota, issued a statement for Oglala to identify themselves as U.S. citizens and advised them to make this statement: 'Because I am both a tribal citizen and U.S. citizen, ICE has no lawful authority to detain me.'

"President Frank Star Comes Out pointed out that the Treaties affirm a nation-to-nation relationship with the United States, and advised Oglala not to speak without an attorney present.

"Oglala Sioux Tribal attorneys are reaching out to Minnesota Lt. Gov. #PeggyFlanagan about where the four Lakotas are being detained and what their names are. The Tribal Council and executive officers have also been informed, he said."

A #SouthDakota tribe banned Gov. #KristiNoem from a reservation over her #USMexicoBorder remarks

By TRISHA AHMED
February 3, 2024

"A South Dakota tribe has banned Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from the #PineRidgeReservation after she spoke this week about wanting to send #RazorWire and security personnel to #Texas to help deter immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and also said cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations.

“'Due to the safety of the #Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the #OglalaSioux Tribe!” Tribe President #FrankStarComesOut said in a Friday statement addressed to Noem. “Oyate” is a word for people or nation.

"#StarComesOut accused Noem of trying to use the border issue to help get former U.S. President Donald Trump re-elected and boost her chances of becoming his running mate.

"Many of those arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are #IndigenousPeople from places like #ElSalvador, #Guatemala and #Mexico who come 'in search of jobs and a better life,' the tribal leader added.

"'They don’t need to be put in cages, separated from their children like during the Trump Administration, or be cut up by razor wire furnished by, of all places, South Dakota,' he said.

"Star Comes Out also addressed #Noem’s remarks in the speech to lawmakers Wednesday in which she said a gang calling itself the Ghost Dancers is murdering people on the Pine Ridge Reservation and is affiliated with border-crossing cartels that use South Dakota reservations to spread drugs throughout the Midwest.

"Star Comes Out said he took deep offense at her reference, saying the #GhostDance is one of the Oglala Sioux’s “most sacred ceremonies,' 'was used with blatant disrespect and is insulting to our Oyate.'"

He says Ghost Dance is a sacred ceremony and was referenced with blatant disrespect.
