Michelangelo Signorile discussed this yesterday on his program. He discussed the ineptitude of the ICE agents who apparently had little to no experience evaluating the IDs of Native Americans, and he pointed out that the IDs vary from tribe to tribe. What a clusterf*ck.

Really heartened to see a post about this topic on DU. I hope we can get updates and follow this as these raids unfold.
