Tribal Sovereignty vs. State Prosecutors

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision is making waves in law enforcement circles. The case—Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta—concerns who prosecutes crimes committed on tribal land when non-Native American suspects are involved.   Today on the pod, we'll talk about what this case means for tribal sovereignty here in Michigan. As you’ll hear, things just got a lot more complicated. GUESTS: Jocelyn Fabry, chief judge for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians   Kirsten Matoy Carlson, professor of law and adjunct professor of political science at Wayne State University.  Looking for more conversations from Stateside?
