The Oneida Nation condemned a tribal-linked firm's $6.5M ICE contract, citing ethical concerns and historical trauma, and banned future ICE work.
The Oneida Nation Business Committee has condemned a joint venture, Oneida-Stantec JV LLC, for securing $6.5 million in federal contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for detention facility work in El Paso, Texas.
The venture, involving Oneida Environmental—a subsidiary of the Oneida Engineering Science Construction Group—was criticized for conflicting with the Nation’s core values and Good Mind Principles, particularly given the historical trauma of forced removals.
In response, the Committee passed a resolution requiring all tribal divisions and corporations to disengage from future ICE-related contracts.
The Nation is conducting due diligence on the agreements, emphasizing alignment with tribal principles, while also reviewing the broader implications of such partnerships.
