Tribal Members, 

In light of recent events regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Indian Tribes, I would like to offer some very basic information. 

Within the last week or two, the matter has been brought to LRBOI's attention by concerned members and by elected officials monitoring the situation. I would like to quell the rumors and just give some very basic information.
