USET SPF supports the efforts of Tribal Nations to exercise our sovereignty and self-determination to create viable and sustainable economic opportunities and job creation for our communities.
You hear repeatedly in this Congress and in this Committee of the dire dangers being presented at the southern border of this nation with fentanyl, human trafficking, organized crime, cartels...
