RUIDOSO, N.M. (KFOX14/CBS4) — After an immigration incident involving a tribal member and an ICE agent, the Mescalero Apache Tribe is advising members on how to respond when confronted by an immigration agent. On Thursday, the president of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, Thora Walsh-Padilla, took to social media to clear up rumors regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents confronting tribal members, by sharing what happened and how to respond if another incident happens. According to a letter written by Walsh-Padilla, on Wednesday, an ICE agent confronted a tribal member while waiting in line inside a public place in Ruidoso. Walsh-Padilla said the ICE agent first questioned a family in line in front of the tribal member and when the family was taken outside, the agent turned to the tribal member speaking in Spanish. The tribal member reportedly told the ICE agent they spoke English at which point the ICE agent asked to see a passport.
