Okay, this is actually one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

ICE apparently has an all American Indian squadron who patrol the Mexican border in the Sonoran Desert. Their job is primarily to use native tactics to track down and stop narcos and human traffickers on the southern border.

They're called "The Shadow Wolves."

The Shadow Wolves were created way back in 1974 and have been in charge of patrolling the southern Arizona desert these last 40 years, protecting their own borders in the Tohono Oʼodham Nation's reservation.

The reactions to this story are perfect:
