Indigenous Actress Detained By ICE
The indigenous actress Elaine Miles was detained by ICE agents in Redmond, Washington. She is a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. She's known for her roles Northern Exposure, Smoke Signals and The Last Of Us.
Miles was waiting bus stop in Redmond, WA on November 19, on her way to Target in Redmond, when a couple of black SUVs, with no plates descended on her, and demanded to see identification. She was detained when she presented her Tribal ID (valid for travel everywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico), and the ICE agents told her this is a fake ID.
Members from the same Tribe were also arrested months ago, while fighting a fire on the Olympic Peninsula, when ICE raided the firefighters camps and arrested several firefighters.
Someone should tell Dog Slayer that she's trying to arrest an Umatilla Indian Nation citizen, on her own extended territory.
Perhaps ICE was hoping to arrest people as they took the bus to look for work at the HomeDepot next to Target. Sad.
