South Dakota tribe bans Gov. Kristi Noem from reservation

A South Dakota tribe is banning Gov. Kristi Noem from its reservation over her recent remarks about an "invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border, in which she said she was considering sending razor wire and security personnel there.

The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Frank Star Comes Out, issued the decision about not allowing her on the Pine Ridge Reservation in a four-page response to the GOP governor's remarks about the southern border.

"Due to the safety of the Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the Ogala Sioux Tribe!" he wrote in a letter Friday.

The tribe said in 2019 that Noem wasn't welcome on the land, the eighth-largest reservation in the country, because she supported the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Friday statement from the Oglala Sioux Tribe's president, who said he was an honorably discharged U.S. combat veteran, said Noem's "use of the term 'invasion' as a justification to send S.D. National Guard troops to Texas" is "misplaced."

Now let's see Rosebud and Cheyenne River step up. And how about y'all Blackfeet and Plains Cree in Montana? Isn't your goobernator down there too jawing with Gov. Hot Wheels?
