摘要

A demonstrably outraged federal judge has blasted the Trump administration for its handling of an Interior Department solicitor's opinion key to a high-profile tribal lands and gaming dispute. In a barbed missive issued Friday, U.S. District Senior Judge Paul Friedman said he was astonished and "disturbed" to have belatedly discovered on his own the solicitor's opinion and accompanying shift in Interior's legal analysis that occurred in early March. "The Court frankly is shocked that the government did not bring this change to the Court's attention and discuss its relevance, or lack thereof, to the pending [legal] motions," Friedman wrote. A Clinton administration appointee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Friedman pointed out that Interior's withdrawal of a prior legal opinion and its replacement with another was crucial to the case involving the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in Massachusetts. "Not only did the government fail to bring the withdrawal of the [opinion] to the Court's attention when it should have — almost two months ago when the Solicitor deemed it contrary to law — but astonishingly, the flurry of activity that has developed in this case over the past month also did not prompt the government to act," Friedman wrote. Friedman ordered Justice Department attorneys, who represent the federal government in litigation, as well as the tribal attorneys to answer a batch of questions today in advance of a scheduled hearing Thursday. At issue is Interior's procedure for determining whether a tribe was "under federal jurisdiction" in 1934. Answering that question can help determine whether land can be taken into trust for tribal gaming purposes.
