US Marshals to Assist Tribes in Capturing Fugitives and Enhancing Security.
This law officially authorizes the U.S. Marshals Service to assist Indian Tribes in locating and apprehending individuals wanted under Tribal warrants. This change aims to increase public safety within Tribal lands by ensuring that fugitives cannot easily evade justice simply by crossing jurisdictional lines. It also mandates better coordination between federal threat assessment agencies and Tribal law enforcement.
