"LoneFight, now a general assignment and Indian Affairs reporter for the mainstream "Grand Forks(N.D.) Herald, said he was covering a tribal council meeting on a sensitive issue when the chairman ordered him out.
When LoneFight refused to leave, the official called the tribal police to remove him.
"The cops came in, took one look at me and they said they had to go out and make a phone call. When they returned, they told the chairman I was protected under the First Amendment."
However, neither the police nor the Constitution were able to prevent LoneFight's firing, which took place shortly after the meeting. "I could not get a hearing from the tribal chairman because he never scheduled one," LoneFight recalled."
