Immigration Enforcement Reports & Facts Update

Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Arizona. January 25, 2025 

Recently, the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Council and Governmental Departments have received many reports and concerns about potential U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) activity. These reports and concerns are understandably creating apprehension and distress among many community members. Please know that Tribal departments are monitoring and investigating these reports for any possible impacts to our membership.

As of this date, January 25, 2025, there have been zero confirmed cases regarding “immigration sweeps” occurring within our tribal communities and zero known detentions of Pascua Yaqui Tribal members. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe has historically maintained a positive and collaborative relationship with United States departments tasked with immigration law enforcement, and we can report that there is currently no unusual activity. We encourage individuals to remain calm and be assured that our partnerships with state and federal law enforcement are ongoing to ensure community safety. While we understand that there is a heightened awareness and that it can invoke concern, we would like to stress the importance that the best approach is being prepared. Carry your state ID, Tribal ID or Pascua Yaqui Enhanced Tribal ID Card (ETC) for any interactions. For any questions about obtaining a Tribal ID Card or the Tribe’s ETC please contact the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Enrollment Department at 520.879.6242, or you may visit the office at 7474 S. Camino De Oeste Tucson, AZ 85757.

During this time of uncertainty, the Tribe remains dedicated to providing accurate information, assisting our members with their concerns and taking necessary measures to ensure that the rights of our tribal members are being respected. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed of any developments.
