But I found The Independent had a version here - Indigenous actor says ICE agents branded her tribal ID ‘fake’ during stop

and they included this -

(snip)

She presented her ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, which one agent allegedly said was “fake.” “Anyone can make that,” another agent said, according to Miles.

Miles continued that the men, whom she feared might even be bounty hunters, refused to give their names or badge numbers as they detained her.

When they dismissed her tribal ID as illegitimate, she pointed to the enrollment office number printed on the back and told them to call. They didn’t. When she tried to call the office herself, the agents attempted, unsuccessfully, to take her phone.

At that point, a fifth agent whistled from one of the SUVs, and the group abruptly returned to their vehicles and drove off.

A couple other sources just published their own articles about this within the past couple hours including The Guardian and The Hill.
