The Isleta Pueblo has filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over the firings of much of the staff at the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque. Attorneys for Native American rights groups say the firings at SIPI resulted in power outages, leaving the campus unsafe and unusable for learning. The federal lawsuit over cancelled classes and other issues names the Interior Department and Bureau of Indian Affairs as defendants. The employees were let go in an early round of DOGE federal layoffs.
