Minnesota COA Holds Warrantless Search of Tribal Casino Patron Not Covered by ICRA
Here is the opinion in State v. Yang. An excerpt:
Appellant challenges his convictions of three counts of controlled substance crime in the first degree, arguing that security guards employed by the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel violated his Fourth Amendment protections under the Indian Civil Rights Act and the United States Constitution when they conducted a warrantless search of his satchel in a hotel room and discovered methamphetamine and marijuana. Because the security guards were not acting as tribal governmental agents, appellant’s rights under the Indian Civil Rights Act were not violated. We affirm.

Report on Tribal Green Reentry Program
Here is “Cross-Site Evaluation of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Tribal Green Reentry Program.”
An excerpt:
From 2009 through 2014, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) funded demonstration grants to incorporate green technologies and environmentally sustainable activities in programs designed to help detained and reentering tribal youth successfully reintegrate into their communities and to prevent future juvenile justice system involvement among at-risk youth. Three American Indian tribes received Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Green Demonstration (“Green Reentry”) grants: the Hualapai Indian Tribe (Arizona), the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians (MBCI; Mississippi), and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (RST; South Dakota). Throughout their grant periods, the three sites received training and technical assistance from the Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Resource and Technical Assistance Center, managed by the Education Development Center.

New Mexico Supreme Court Holds State Officers May Transport Navajo Members Off Reservation for Chemical Testing
Here is the opinion in State v. Charlie:
An excerpt:
In summary, the testimony that the Navajo Nation enabled cross-commissioned State Police officers to transport Navajos off the reservation for chemical testing to investigate Navajo Code violations was unopposed. Defendants instead argued that in spite of this testimony, extradition protocols had to be followed. They erred as a matter of law because no extraditions occurred. In addition, because Defendants’ only argument for lack of jurisdiction erroneously relied on the purported need to follow Navajo extradition procedures, the Court of Appeals erred in reversing the district court decisions on bases that exceeded the scope of review. As a result, we reverse the Court of Appeals.
