Senators Tina Smith and Steve Daines recently announced the bipartisan Protection for Reservation Occupants Against Trafficking and Evasive Communications Today – PROTECT – Act aimed at combating drug trafficking in tribal communities.
ADVERTISEMENTThe PROTECT Act would address this problem by enabling tribal nations to exercise their inherent authority to prosecute non-Native offenders for drug crimes and gun crimes.
The act also includes provisions for tribal courts to execute warrants for electronic communications to better combat drug traffickers and other criminals.
“The PROTECT Act would help tribes fight back against these drug traffickers.
"The PROTECT Act enhances tribal sovereignty and public safety and is an idea whose time has come."
