💨 Abstract
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation withdrew from a $30 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to design immigrant detention centers after facing significant online backlash. The tribe, which has a history of displacement, faced criticism for participating in deportation efforts. Tribal Chairman Joseph “Zeke” Rupnick announced the decision, emphasizing the need to align economic interests with tribal values.
