Indigenous actor Elaine Miles, best known for her roles in "Northern Exposure," "Smoke Signals," Wyvern" and "The Last of Us," was stopped by ICE earlier this month in Redmond, Wa. She showed her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, a federally recognized form of identification. An agent called her document "fake," saying "anyone can make that." She was released shortly afterwards, but says in a social media post that a similar thing happened to both her son and uncle. Indigenous rights attorney Gabriel Galanda, who does not represent Miles, says it's racial profiling. “People are getting pulled over or detained on the street because of the dark color of their skin.” Here's more from The Seattle Times. https://flip.it/rF4QCo #ElaineMiles #Indigenous #IndigenousRights #Immigration #USImmigration #ICE #Racism

The U.S. Department of Justice's prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey may be in trouble, as prosecutor Tyler Lemons acknowledged that the grand jury never saw the final version of Comey's indictment, NBC reports. Comey's attorney, Michael Drebeen, has asked the judge to dismiss the charges with prejudice (so that they cannot be brought again) on the basis that this is a vindictive prosecution fueled by President Donald Trump's personal spite.
