NegativeWorld Affairs

- The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, a Native American tribe in Kansas, is facing backlash after its economic development subsidiary secured a $29.9 million federal contract from the Department of Homeland Security to design potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities. The contract was signed in October, prompting criticism that the tribe is benefiting from policies reminiscent of its own historical forced removals.
- This development raises significant concerns about the tribe's alignment with federal immigration policies, especially given its history of displacement. The backlash from other tribal groups highlights the ethical implications of the contract and may impact the tribe's reputation and future economic opportunities.
