"South Dakota Tribe Bans Governor Noem Over Border Remarks"

The Oglala Sioux Tribe has barred South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem from its lands for the second time in five years after her remarks about curbing immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border offended the tribal president. The tribe's president cited safety concerns and accused Noem of using the border issue to influence Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Noem described the influx of immigrants as an "invasion" that is bringing a violent presence to tribal reservations, while the tribal president argued that the term is misplaced and that drugs and human trafficking affect all of South Dakota and surrounding states.
