Summary
Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen delivered a stark warning to Congress: jurisdictional chaos is crippling efforts to solve the missing and murdered Indigenous people crisis, with men making up 40% of victims. He revealed how state laws are powerless on tribal lands, forcing him to watch crimes go unsolved — and called for federal action to untangle the red tape blocking cooperation. With just two FBI agents covering vast reservations like Fort Peck, Knudsen urged Congress to fund 50-60 more agents to bolster safety. He also warned that criminal groups exploit legal loopholes, worsening the crisis. The hearing, now available online, underscores a national emergency demanding urgent, coordinated solutions.
