Oneida Nation Reviews ICE Contracts, Opposes Decision
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
The Oneida Nation in Wisconsin faces backlash for signing contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, sparking controversy and internal debate. The tribes subsidiary, Oneida-Stantec JV LLC, has secured deals worth $6.3 million for engineering, technical services, and maintenance for government facilities. Tribal members and leaders question if this aligns with Oneida values, leading to a review and potential reversal of the decision. The situation echoes a similar uproar with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, where an ICE contract was canceled. The Oneida Nation Business Committee opposes the decision, directing all tribal entities to pull out of any ICE deals and planning to meet with OESC officials. Other tribal groups have their own ICE contracts, highlighting tensions in federal tribal partnerships.
