Detained for Having Brown Skin: When Invaders Call Natives Trespassers
An impression of an indigenous man being detained by also indigenous peoples working for the enemy.

Federal immigration agents recently detained a Native American Arawak citizen for three days, apparently under the suspicion that brown skin itself is contraband. Despite having his passport and driver’s license in the car, the agents refused to look at them, preferring instead to rely on their gut instinct calibrated by reruns of Duck Dynasty. His two dogs were impounded as collateral damage, and upon release he was forced to pay hundreds of dollars to reclaim them, an innovative new tax on freedom disguised as kennel fees.
The absurdity of the episode is almost too much to parody. A man whose family has lived on this land for generations was treated as an outsider by people whose own ancestors arrived centuries later, invading and occupying the continent. The hypocrisy is staggering: descendants of European settlers detaining an Indigenous citizen on his own ancestral land, while Trump, himself the child of immigrants, and Kristi Noem, another beneficiary of settler colonialism, enable this machinery of exclusion. It is as if burglars broke into someone’s home, ate their food, and then accused the homeowner of trespassing.
Driving a Tesla home from the beach became evidence of treason, because apparently only pale patriots are allowed to own vehicles with autopilot. Constitutional rights were treated as optional DLC, available only to subscribers of the White Privilege Plus package. The spectacle reveals a system where citizenship documents are less persuasive than skin tone, dogs are punished for their owners’ existence, and the true natives of this land are criminalized by the descendants of invaders.
The final irony is that the people empowered to detain him are themselves the outsiders, wielding authority on stolen ground. The episode is not just a violation of rights; it is a grotesque inversion of history, where the invaders claim legitimacy and the Indigenous are treated as trespassers.
We must go in depth on Kristi Noems right to be an American:
Kristi Noem’s lineage connects her to America through European settler ancestry. She was born in Watertown, South Dakota in 1971, and her family roots trace back to immigrant families from Norway and Germany who settled in the Dakotas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Family Background and Settler Lineage
• Parents: Kristi Lynn Arnold (later Noem) was born to Ronald Dennis Arnold (1944–1994) and Corrine Kay Bergan (born 1948) in South Dakota Geneastar.
• Grandparents: Wesley Wilson Arnold (1914–1984) and Arlys Adeline Bohn (1921–2020) lived in Hamlin and Grant Counties, South Dakota.
• Alf might as well be the muppet character as they are all clowns) Harold Bergan (1921–2008) and Dorris Katheryn Randgaard (1925–2005) also lived in South Dakota.
• Great-grandparents: Torsten Nilsen Bergan (1871–1952) and Berta Nesse (1889–1957) were Norwegian immigrants who settled in South Dakota.
• Frederick Oscar Randgaard (1885–1980) and Antis Mae Hampton (1893–1987) were of Scandinavian and German descent.
• Arnold Edward George (1875–1951) and Flora Katherine Robish (1880–1963) were of German ancestry.
Immigration and Settlement
• Kristi Noem’s ancestors arrived from Europe (Norway and Germany) in the late 1800s and early 1900s, part of the wave of settlers who colonized the Dakotas.
• These families established farms and ranches in South Dakota, embedding themselves into settler society while Indigenous peoples were being displaced from their ancestral lands.
• Noem’s lineage is therefore rooted in settler colonialism: her authority today as a U.S. politician comes from families who immigrated to and occupied land that had been taken from Native nations.
The Hypocrisy in Context
This background underscores the hypocrisy: a Native citizen with generations of ancestry on this continent can be detained and treated as an outsider, while descendants of European immigrants like Kristi Noem rise to positions of power over immigration enforcement. Her family’s presence in America is the direct result of colonization, yet she now enforces policies against Indigenous and brown-skinned citizens whose lineage predates hers by millennia. She has no authority to decide the occupation of north America. She is an immigrant (no official right to live here as her ancestors were invaders to a land that gave her no immigration rights to occupy the space). SEND HER BACK! SEND HER BACK! (NSN is sure that her homeland will not receive her well but she is not welcome on our land!!!!!) SEND HER BACK!!!!
