Tribal Banishment: Gov. Noem's Border Comments Spark Standoff

The Oglala Sioux Tribe has banned South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem from the Pine Ridge Reservation over her comments on deterring immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, accusing her of using the issue for political gain. The tribe's president criticized Noem for her remarks and her alleged association of a sacred tribal ceremony with a gang, while Noem emphasized the need for collaboration to address border issues and expressed willingness to work with Native American tribes.
