Happy Friday, this week has been jam packed with events. So in between an article about the Native American community’s response to Operation Metro Surge, a column about the protest on Jan. 23 and the launch of our A&E podcast, take time to catch up on the events of this last week before going into the weekend.
Stay golden,

This comes after four men from the Oglala Sioux Tribe were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents two weeks ago. Three of the four members were transferred to a moratorium in Fort Snelling, reported AP News.
