Pourier Criticizes Noem's Border Concern Framing
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem raised concerns about the impact of the southern border on the state, citing cartel presence and criminal activity. However, Rep. Peri Pourier, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, objected to the governor's framing of the issue, calling it disingenuous and insulting, particularly in reference to the Pine Ridge Reservation and the Ghost Dancers gang.
