SD tribe president ‘banishes’ Kristi Noem from reservation over comments about border security
https://www.americanthinker.com/blo...tion_over_comments_about_border_security.htmlI’m sorry, did Star Comes Out say Noem was “banished”? “Banished” from what? “Banished” from… entering a sovereign nation of which she is not a citizen? Crossing a border against the will of the people who live there? Violating political boundaries and the rule of law? Would her presence in Pine Ridge be “illegal” if she were to disobey her “banishment”? And this, all because Noem said that borders matter and she’d be supporting border security efforts?South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was banned from the Pine Ridge Reservation after speaking about wanting to bolster the U.S.-Mexico border by sending razor wire and security personnel to Texas, adding that cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations.
Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out issued a statement on social media on Friday regarding Noem’s comments.
‘Due to the safety of the Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the Oglala Sioux Tribe,’ Star Comes Out said in a Friday statement addressed to Noem. ‘Oyate’ is a word for people or nation.
…
Star Comes Out said he believes many people coming to the southern border in search of jobs and a better life are indigenous people from places like El Salvadore, Guatemala and Mexico and do not deserve to be ‘dehumanized and mistreated’ by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and ‘his cohorts.’
‘They don’t need to be put in cages, separated from their children like during the Trump Administration, or be cut up by razor wire furnished by, of all places, South Dakota,’ Star Comes Out said.
Oh the irony.
