ICE is sweeping up Native Americans in Minnesota arrests, tribal leaders say: ‘Our citizenship is not negotiable’

it means get anyone "not white out"

They're Nazis. They have a very narrow, and ever narrowing, template for which people deserve to live. Everything except this is beside the point for them, and their words are just there to distract while they ready the machinery of mass extermination. It's clear now that this is the direction they will continue to move in unless they are forcibly stopped.

It was never about immigration.

I’ve seen a bunch of white people say that whites are Native American, like you have to be forcefully stupid to believe some of the shit they spin.

I have heard MAGAs say that the NAs are safe on their reservations, but when they cross the line into the United States, they are officially illegal immigrants, and are fully eligible to be arrested.

Don't forget the fundamental hypocrisy of Trump telling Greenland that ships 500 years ago don't mean they own the land. That is directly related as well, even if it is technically a separate issue.

americunts.

Umm. Some Americans would call those pricks cunts as well.. (how does that one work again?)

I mean, I would.

America gets meaner and stupider by the day.

Both of those countries took notes from the United States, particularly with respect to the success of the genocide of American Indians.

That's the kind of American Exceptionalism that the world has come to expect.

These Nazis don't care. The point is to assert white supremacy through terror.

It's horrible obviously, but also yeah, what's the plan there?

I don't think you meant it that way, but there are many many lands that belong to American Indians, but are not federally recognized due to:

• never having been ceded in a treaty
• the US government outright breaking the treaty

I'm also down to go with "all the land is theirs regardless as the treaties were signed under duress".

They're not trying. They want to terrorize both.

Partially because most Latin Americans have indigenous roots, not that there aren't white Mexicans or what have you. Since they are often victimized disproportionately in their home countries, many central and south Americans who migrate have indigenous backgrounds. So in a sense, it's twice as bad as you'd think at first glance.

tribal members have been citizens far longer than the United States has even existed

I understand the point you are making here, although I want to add that most American Indians were not United States citizens until 1924.

The United States is not their country, but a force that is occupying their land. It is more complicated than that, but it needs to be a part of the conversation, in my opinion.

I mean the "kavanaugh stop" came out of this. So yes, it was always about racism

Latina america has a heavy influence by Spain, Portuquese and France colonist. So similary like north america, while there are indigenous people, lots of them are decendents of colonizers, so you cant just compare Latinos to Native Americans.

Edit; i fight the urge to change the comment, but i decited to leave it as is. User Formfiller has two excelent links in their comment that contradicts my comment and proofs that geneticaly people are still mostly indigenous in latin america even if not culturaly.

Not really, but kinda. The Spaniards came over, met the Mayans, and together they became Mexicans. (No, I'm not being completely serious)

The reality is that the lines between ethnicities are very muddy and blurry and in the end makes ZERO sense to box everyone into those containers.

You make it sound as though the invaders who set up their country where the natives already lived are benevolent for allowing the natives to stay.

I'd rather deport ICE back to where it belongs. Antarctica had lots of ice for example...
