Choctaw Nation weighs in on U.S. Supreme Court ruling in tribal sovereignty case<\/div>\r\n

<\/P>\r\n Chief Gary Batton of the Choctaw Nation<\/a> issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta<\/em><\/a> on June 29, 2022. <\/em>\r\n

<\/P>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
Chief Gary Batton, Choctaw Nation\r\n<\/h5>\r\nWe are disappointed in this ruling, but we respect the authority of the Supreme Court, and we will integrate its decision into our continued efforts to provide effective criminal justice in our reservation.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nAs always, we will continue to work with law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, local and tribal level.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n To be clear, this ruling does not affect the main holding of the\r\nMcGirt<\/em> decision, which affirmed tribal sovereignty and requires the United States to uphold its treaty obligations. Our focus remains on protecting our members, as well as all 4 million Oklahoma residents.\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
