Native American friend taken by ICE
She called me in tears saying ICE has detained her. She's been told she will be deported in an unspecified timeframe unless her family can produce documents "proving her citizenship". Only problem is she doesn't have a normal birth certificate, but rather tribal enrollment documents and a notarized document showing she was born on reservation. Her family brought these, but these were rejected as "foreign documents".
Does anyone have a federal number I can call to report this absurd abuse of power? I'm pretty sure this violates the constitution, bill of rights provision against cruel and unusual punishment, and is in general a human rights violation. A lawyer has already been called on her behalf by her family, but things are moving slowly on that front.
This is an outrage in all ways possible.
