Summary

Tribal Warrant Fairness Act This bill authorizes the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) to assist with certain tribal law enforcement activities and allows tribal law enforcement agencies to participate in regional fugitive task forces. Specifically, the bill authorizes the USMS, upon the request of an Indian tribe, to investigate tribal fugitive matters. The USMS may investigate tribal fugitive matters both within and outside the United States, as directed by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Additionally, the USMS, upon the request of tribal law enforcement agencies, may assist these agencies in locating and recovering missing children. The bill also allows tribal law enforcement agencies to participate in regional fugitive task forces. DOJ must consult with tribes when establishing new task forces. (The USMS oversees regional fugitive task forces. Currently, these task forces combine the efforts of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend fugitives.)
