#IndigenousActor #ElaineMiles says #ICE called her #TribalID ‘fake’
By Kai Uyehara, Nov. 27, 2025 at 6:00 am Updated Nov. 28, 2025 at 6:12 pm
"Elaine Miles was walking to a bus stop in Redmond to go to Target, she said, when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID.
"Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in '#NorthernExposure,' '#SmokeSignals,' '#Wyvern' and '#TheLast OfUs,' handed them her tribal ID from the #ConfederatedTribesOfTheUmatilla Indian Reservation in #Oregon.
"Federal government agencies recognize tribal ID as a valid form of identification, and Miles has used it to travel back and forth to Canada and Mexico without any issues.
"Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it 'fake.'
" 'Anyone can make that,' she recalled another agent saying.
"Reported encounters between immigration agents and Indigenous people like Miles’ remain rare [BULLSHIT!]. But as immigration enforcement has gotten more aggressive, including in the Seattle area, incidents like Miles’ are stoking fears beyond immigrant communities.
"Miles said her son and uncle were both detained by ICE agents who initially did not accept their tribal IDs before they were eventually let go.
" 'What we’re talking about here is #RacialProfiling,' said Seattle-based Indigenous rights attorney Gabriel Galanda, who does not represent Miles. 'People are getting pulled over or detained on the street because of the dark color of their skin.' "

OwO what's this, a PERSONAL ART?????
Say hello to Secretary, my beloved wyvern who popped up in my head 10 years ago(https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18409199/). Really happy to have a proper ref 🥹
Just a design challange critter at first, but sparked my inspiration along the way and became a fully fleshed out OC. This ref has grown a lot since the first sketches and what was supposed to be a 2 days job ended up being a 20 days one. I regret nothing though . I am very happy and proud I have completed a complex personal artwork after all those years, and managed to do so right before I leave to Awoostria :D
I also updated his ArtFight profile: https://artfight.net/character/4427......the-secretary

ABOUT SECRETARY :blobcatcoffee:
- Pedantic bureaucrat with a short temper.
- He considers himself a gentleman, afternoon tea is a duty.
- He wears glasses because of his short-sightness and to emphasize his high intellect in the eyes of others.
- Even though other wyverns go around on 4 digits, he walks on 2. It is unworthy of nobleman to walk on 4.
- Secretary shares the same world as Chmurka. (Fantasy steampunk vibes, he manages taxes from flying ships merchants)
- No one knows his real name and he is happy to be called by his position only.They meet when her crew attacks the ship Secretary is on. He recognizes her as one of the higher up merchants he met earlier in the palace. When she realizes she got a witness, she kidnaps him. During the imprisonment on her ship Secretary manages to persuade her, that if she lets him go he will help her cover up her pirate voyages and basically launder her money. This deal leads to a specific relationship those two find each other in. Secretary gets very nervous around her and is very scared she will spill the beans and make him loose his whole career (or kill him, but loosing his face is worse!!!). Chmurka is very proud and self-dependent. She doesn't like to kill the innocent and make the job dirty, but at the same time she hates being dependent on someone and that he knows her secrets.
Chmurka is pretty tall, but still much shorter than Secretary who can tower over her while walking on two legs. That doesn't stop her from bullying him of course
He is covered with silky, long , grey feathers which from far away might look like fur. Well defined muscles are hidden under the fluff.
The official's robe is inspired by chinese hanfu.
