I’ve seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it’s so consistent that I’ve begun to wonder if they actually don’t understand.

I disagree here somewhat. Now, maybe you know more about the background of ICE and how it’s been utilized in the past, admittedly I am not. But from the outside looking in, I can’t imagine a reason why ICE would have gone into reservations looking for Native Americans. If ICE usually isn’t sicced on Native Americans, it would make sense that they don’t have a process for validating the citizenhood of these Americans (although that certainly is quite an oversight).
As far as what documentation ICE looks for, isn’t that the stuff on this list:

Once again, maybe they should have figured out what qualified as acceptable documentation of Navajo citizenship before detaining them for failing to provide it.
The listed immigration documents do not apply to indigenous people because they aren’t immigrants, not because they’re here illegally.
