Bizarre Message from Demoted U.S. Border Patrol Czar at Mount Rushmore on Lakotas Sacred Black Hills

UPDATE: The two Border Patrol agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been identified by ProPublica. Both are from South Texas. Link

The demoted head of the U.S. Border Patrol operations in Minneapolis delivered a bizarre message at Mount Rushmore, as his caravan snaked its way back across the west. Lakotas said the presence of Greg Bovino on their ancestral lands in the Black Hills was a violation of the sacred.

Bovino's message comes after the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol in Minneapolis, and the illegal arrests and assaults of Native people there.

At Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Bovino referred to the chiseled rock heads of the four U.S. presidents behind him, as the original 'turn and burn' -- the folks that helped make America.

Bovino said he's proud of what the "mean green machine" is doing in Minneapolis and calls them the 'modern day equivalent' of the original turn and burn presidents.

Oglala President Bans ICE and U.S. Border Patrol from Oglala Lakota Nation, Pine Ridge, South Dakota

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, January 28, 2026

Oglala Lakota President Frank Star Comes Out issued a Presidential Proclamation today banning both ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol from the Oglala Lakota Nation. The Oglala Sioux Tribal Council banned ICE, and rejected an agreement to work with immigration officials, on January 21.

President Star Comes Out points out in the Proclamation today that the U.S. Border Patrol is working with ICE in its "unlawful conduct against Native people in Minneapolis" -- which is within the Aboriginal Territory of the Great Sioux Nation.

Calling it "egregious conduct," the President's Proclamation states that ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are targeting minorities throughout the United States, and Native people are being detained and injured, in violation of Treaties and civil rights.

Navajos Warn of Secretive Tribal Government Reform 

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Jan. 27, 2026

Navajos warned of a secretive Navajo government reform that is underway that would change Diné life, and silence the voices of the people for generations to come.

Chili Yazzie, former Shiprock Council Delegate and Chapter President, said proposing the government reform as a "yes or no" question for the Dine' voters on the ballot in 2026 is "an abuse of our people."

Speaking during the press conference at the Navajo Nation Council chambers on Tuesday morning, Herb Yazzie, retired Chief Justice of the Navajo Nation, pointed out the harm that could come.
