Native American protester hospitalized after being tased and tackled outside ICE office
Aug 25, 2026·Location: Sacramento, CA

Sisi Rose, 33, a member of the Cheyenne River and Sisseton-Wahpeton tribes, was tased and tackled to the pavement by police while protesting outside the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations office in Sacramento, California. An officer allegedly shot pepper spray into her mouth and then arrested her for assault after she spit it out, while officers knelt on her neck with their body weight. She was hospitalized after the taser probe embedded into the bone of her wrist, with doctors saying it may not be safely removed for a week, and she continued to experience burning and respiratory distress from the pepper spray. Rose said she has been protesting for months against what she calls ICE's unlawful detentions of Native Americans and U.S. citizens, saying, "My kids could be snatched up off the streets, and we're from here, and that scares me."
