#Navaho nation reports that #indigenous persons have been targeted in the ongoing #immigration crackdown, their citizenship questioned even though tribal papers were shown. An 1866 law denied such people were citizens, but the 14th Amendment of 1868 established their citizenship https://www.democracynow.org/2025/1/28/headlines/navajo_nation_says_immigration_agents_targeting_indigenous_people_amid_crackdown
Navajo Nation Says Immigration Agents Targeting Indigenous People Amid Crackdown

The Navajo Nation reports at least 15 Native Americans in Arizona and New Mexico have been stopped by immigration officers at their homes and workplaces over the past week and asked to produce proof of citizenship. The stops came as President Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said he plans to continue immigration raids “without apology.” ICE says it arrested 1,179 people on Sunday — the largest number ever on a single day by either Trump administration. Over the weekend, Homan and other administration officials visited Chicago to personally oversee ICE raids that have terrorized immigrant communities. His visit came after Chicago Public Schools said it would not cooperate with ICE’s plans to conduct raids at schools. At least seven other major public school districts across the U.S. have issued similar statements.

While the failure of this mission is a scientific disappointment, it's a win for the #Navaho Nation.

Maybe next try, don't bring along any human remains.

What happened to the Peregrine lander and what does it mean for moon missions?

The spacecraft, a collaboration between Nasa and Astrobotic, is unlikely to reach the lunar surface

I can't really offer any help, but the #Navaho element would justify a Fediverse server dedicated to it. This looks a little frightening to set up, but the #raspberrypi people are worth watching, as the core of their activities is computer education. They are working on supporting the Fediverse on their hardware, and they are most excellent people.
