Northern Exposure actress Elaine Miles said she was stopped and detained by immigration agents who allegedly dismissed her tribal identification as “fake."
Miles, who is Native American, said in a now-deleted Facebook post that the incident occurred as she was walking to a bus stop near the Bear Creek Village shopping centre in Redmond, Washington, according to The Seattle Times.
“On November 3, ICE was conducting targeted immigration enforcement traffic stops and encountered Elaine Miles while investigating a vehicle registered to an illegal alien. She was never arrested. Any claim that ICE questioned her tribal ID are FALSE. ICE agents are trained to recognize tribal IDs and accept them as proof of status," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek.

Now waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Yeah, sounds like a true story. /s
ELaine is a liar.
No noose, no news.
She's now 65 years old and maybe this incident can resurrect her "career".
Actresses need attention. And they are always “acting.”
As always, good to wait 72 hours to let the dust settle.
Why did she delete the Facebook post?
Maybe because the incident never happened as she described. Ya think?
Busted! Obviously Bovine Scatology since she deleted the post.
Am I a bad person for laughing at the idea of an American Indian getting deported? Crazy times in crazy town.
Too old and ugly to care. Now if Janine Turner was the one I’d object.
Well, I am sure that her tribe displaced a previous tribe, so.........Karma is a beeech.
Good for ICE.
She have lawyer to get her heap big wampum? The native version of the ghetto lottery?
lol paging Pocahontus Warren
I’d venture to guess Janine was the reason many people watched the show. She was quite pretty back then.
What You Need to Cross the U.S. Border to Live and/or Work
If you were born in Canada and have at least 50% Aboriginal blood, you have the right to enter the U.S. to live or work. This right is guaranteed by federal statute (8 U.S.C. §1359) and the federal court case Akins v. Saxbe, 380 F.
“Am I a bad person for laughing at the idea of an American Indian getting deported?”
The same happened to me. Crazy times, indeed.
Janine is involved in politics and she’s still hot. Too bad she couldn’t take a higher profile.
Just think. Cornyn loses the primary next Match and decides to quit right then and there. Governor Abbott appoints Janine to finish out his term for the last 10 months. Think of the optics.
We can dream.
