The Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians said it was "surprised" by the show of force made by Riverside County Sheriff's Department in response to a carjacking.
Dozens of officers, including a SWAT team with an armored vehicle, stormed the reservation after a report of a carjacking. The tribe said the incident ended with the "uneventful" arrest of a non-member who is a suspect in the crime.
The tribe and the sheriff have been at odds over law enforcement on the reservation. In May, three tribal members were killed over a one-week period in police-related shootings.
