The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan is seeking applications for an Assistant U.S. Attorney (Indian Country) in the Criminal Division of the Grand Rapids Office, with occasional travel to its Marquette Office. The AUSA will work with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute primarily crimes occurring on property owned by, or held in trust for, Native American Tribes. This is an important position in our District, which has eleven federally-recognized tribes within its borders-together comprising the largest Native American population in any district east of the Mississippi River. The AUSA who fills this role will prosecute a variety of cases, many involving vulnerable victims, including crimes against children and disproportionately affecting Native women. The AUSA may also prosecute other offenses, such as crimes involving firearms and explosives, drug-trafficking offenses, and financial frauds. The AUSA will also provide training and coordination in connection with legal issues affecting tribes in the District.
