[Vision2020] Fw:[Spam 3.60] Bipartisan Legislation to SupportVictims of Violence Signed Into Law

[Moscow Cares]

I did discover one reason why Rep. Labrador may have voted against it.

Prior to yesterday, a non-tribal member (say . . . a white guy from St. Marie's) could enter tribal land (say . . . the Coeur d'Alene reservation) and physically abuse a female tribal member without fear of arrest by the tribal police.

The act gave tribal police jurisdiction over non-tribal members that commit a crime on the reservation.

Isn't America GREAT!

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .
