Elaine Miles was walking to a bus stop in Redmond to go to Target, she said, when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID.
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.
Federal government agencies recognize tribal ID as a valid form of identification, and Miles has used it to travel back and forth to Canada and Mexico without any issues.
Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
What idiots are downvoting this? Four members of ICE, a group lying nazi shiatheads, accused the woman they detained of lying to them, despite the fact that she had the necessary idenfication.
Then, after she pointed out that her detention could be cleared up with a single phone call, they refused to do it and tried to steal her phone when she tried to call.
They’re not being downvoted for incorrect information. They’re being downvoted because they appear to be attacking someone who is trying to empathize and are virtue signalling in the process.
I might have made a mistake. It might be reddit residue.
