39 states join Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond in push to pass Tribal Warrant Fairness Act
OKLAHOMA (KXII) – Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is leading a coalition of 39 attorneys general in an attempt to pass the Tribal Warrant Fairness Act.
Drummond says this legislature would help give tribal communities equal access to federal law enforcement resources, effectively protecting Native American children and increasing public safety across Oklahoma.
“Tribal communities deserve equal access to federal law enforcement resources. This legislation will help protect Native American children and increase public safety across Oklahoma by ensuring our tribal partners have the skilled assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service when they need it most.”
The act was introduced by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R), who represents Oklahoma in Washington D.C.
Drummond says this push comes amidst the MMIP (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons) crisis affecting native communities.
