Tribal Ban: Gov. Noem's Border Remarks Lead to Reservation Exclusion

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been banned from the Pine Ridge Reservation after advocating for bolstering security efforts at the US-Mexico border. The Oglala Sioux Tribe President issued the ban, accusing Noem of using the border issue for political gain and disrespecting indigenous people. Noem's comments about sending razor wire and security personnel to Texas were met with criticism, leading to her banishment from the reservation.
