Is it me or is this just bizzare? The federal Begay case says, pursuant to SORNA, the person residing in Indian country has to register with the State if the tribe has not yet developed a registry system. However pursuant to this State case, the State does not have jurisdiction (crimial or civil) over the person who– pursuant to federal law– has to register with them? Can a person even register in a State that doesn’t have jurisdiction over them? Am I missing something or is this just another example of why SORNA is an ill conceived law with respect to Indian country and needs to be amended?
Perhaps but tribal governments should create a similar registration system to protect their own.
