The Bureau of Indian Affairs has issued eviction notices to 24 Navajo Nation police officers and their families, The Gallup Independent reports.
The families are living in a BIA housing unit in Chinle, Arizona. But due to a health concern involving radon, they were told in late October to vacate the homes within 10 days.
Navajo Nation officials are concerned because they haven't been given enough information about the potential health risk. They have asked the BIA for more time to find alternate housing for the officers.
