At this time, there is no Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence physically operating on the Navajo Reservation. If I am notified at any point that ICE is present within the Navajo Nation, I will immediately inform our communities.
My administration has been in communication with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which houses ICE. ICE is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for investigating and enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
For our urban members, please remain vigilant and ensure that you have proper identification with you at all times.
To stay updated on any new information regarding DHS and ICE, please follow my official social media accounts (Facebook, X/Twitter, and Instagram), listen to my weekly radio addresses, and visit the Office of the President and Vice President’s webpage.
If you need assistance or know someone who is being detained by ICE, please contact the Operation Rainbow Bridge hotline at 1-855-HELP-ORB (1-855-435-7672) for support and guidance related to DHS and ICE concerns.
— Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren
