With design plans undelivered, tribal consultation stalled, and a federal injunction in place, the proposed facility faces a potentially years-long regulatory process.
In the historical review process in January, ICE gave several Tribal Nations the opportunity to weigh in on the project prior to issuing their findings of historical appropriateness — a consultation process required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which obligates federal agencies to engage tribes with religious or cultural ties to affected properties before proceeding with a federal undertaking. Now that the project has stalled and faced stricter scrutiny, they've brought those Nations back on as consulting parties. It's not clear from the email which Nation raised the question, but we've reached out to a few sources with knowledge of the matter to help shed some light on that development.
I'll be curious to hear more about this. I know tribal nations have jurisdiction over their ancestral lands, burial grounds, and sacred artifacts. It looks like the Delaware and Seneca Nations were consulted initially and didn't object, at least based on ICE's initial proposal. Wondering how things may have changed since Judge Hurson ruled for the State in the preliminary injunction?
Thank you. I will check out your Substack. After attending the rally and court hearing in Baltimore, I wrote about downstream effects on my Substack, Releasing Memory. Particularly concerned about generational impacts--my interest is more about paying attention to overlooked downstream effects and what harms may fall out of them than about the due diligence required to hold the government to account.
If I sign a falsified federal application I'm liable. What about whoever signed the original false applications?
They're dead. The original papers are called Treaties.
Tribal? Their trying to steal more land from the Indians?
Thankfully, no. Not this time.

I commend your tracking the records and keeping receipts. Vital work! https://remembertheworld.substack.com/p/hope-for-democracy-part-3-downstream
Hopefully they’ll be gone before it resolves.
Any Native Nation that allows an ICE detention center / concentration camp should be UnRecognized by all other Native Nations.
Any comments on the GTFO.org security breach?
Deep Review this, manboy thugs.
