Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta

Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta is a U.S. Supreme Court case from 2022 that addressed the authority of states to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians on tribal land. The Court ruled that states have the right to exercise jurisdiction in these cases, which reversed aspects of a previous ruling (McGirt v. Oklahoma) that had limited state authority. This decision clarified the balance of power between state and tribal governments regarding law enforcement and jurisdiction, emphasizing the role of states in prosecuting offenses even within tribal territories.
