Tribe Faces Backlash for ICE Detention Contract
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, a tribe with a history of forced removal and reservation placement, faces backlash for signing a $30 million federal contract with ICE for immigrant detention center design. The tribe fired the leaders responsible, and members feel betrayed. Other tribes also have contracts with ICE, facing criticism for aligning with the U.S. government. Economic pressures, including decreased federal funding and online gambling competition, drive these decisions, but many believe tribal values should not be compromised. The contracts lack of transparency and competition raises concerns about federal procurement.
