States can prosecute non-tribal members who commit crimes on Native American reservations, Supreme Court says
CNN
The Supreme Court said on Wednesday that states have the authority to prosecute non-tribal members who commit crimes against Native Americans on Indian territory.
The ruling limits a major tribal ruling issued by the Supreme Court in 2020 and cuts back on tribal sovereignty.
Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt praised the court's opinion, calling it a "pivotal moment" in a statement.
