The Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members are being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers after raids in Minneapolis.

In a statement to NPR, the Department of Homeland Security denies that its officers have arrested or even encountered tribal members in its latest raids.

Host Indira Lakshmanan discusses with Graham Lee Brewer. He reports for the Associated Press’ race and ethnicity team, focusing on Indigenous communities and tribal nations. He is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and is based in Oklahoma.
