Do you mean though, if an illegal immigrant is found on your reservation, the native american authroties, whomever they may be, I mean whomever is in charge, they will detain that person then drive and deliver them to some federal prison? That would make sense, it would be a longer drive and unnecessary to drive them all the way to mexico or whatever country. It's your soverign land though so the main thing you would care about is getting them out of it.

Usually they issue notice that the person is barred in the newspaper AFTER they’ve already been removed from the reservation. And yeah, if you commit a felony on reservation, you go to federal prison. Even if it’s a tribal member committing a felony, they might be held for a bit in tribal jail, but same.

I guess that's fine as long as they go to a prison, would you want to create and maintain your own huge prisons, probably not. Would you be angry at all if say a tribal member did commit a felony, it's proven guilty and all, but the fed govt decided to let them out of prison? Sometimes they do that, shortening sentences for woke reasons or because of the pandemic.
