The other concern I still have is also the requests about the potential lack of consultation when it comes to tribal nations.

It is very concerning that we have not received any response regarding these issues that we first brought to DOI's attention months ago.

From what I understand, we did request those documents and we have not received anything in return. This Committee has actually been pushing for this for quite a while.

Not only did the Department forge ahead, despite Congress' concerns, but according to testimony we heard from Chairman Small of the Ute Indian Tribe, you also failed to carry out legal obligations to consult with Indian tribes before doing…

Yes or no, can you commit to producing the documents before any staff begins to move their offices out of Washington, DC?

These high rates of violence are not just a crisis affecting Indian Country. It is a national disgrace that demands national action.

We cannot allow women, thousands of women, to be disappearing a year.

What steps has your office taken to improve prosecution of these crimes and reduce barriers to enforcement in Indian Country?

We want to see actions. If there needs to be follow-up legislation, we will be here to be supportive of legislation.

On reservations, American Indian and Alaska Native women experience murder rates 10 times the national average.

One of the important things that we do is collaborate with our state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners.

How will the long-term plan of U.S. Attorneys presenting at conferences address the on-the-ground efforts of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement?

I want to remind everyone why we are here.

I expect to hear about the tangible solutions this Administration is pursuing to end the cycle of violence for Indigenous women in this country.

What initiatives has your agency undertaken to alleviate the gaps in MMIW data?

It is imperative that we continue to work in partnership and create safe communities and arrest the trend of issues plaguing our Native communities.

As you are aware, there have been jurisdictional challenges that have impeded the prosecution of cases in the past, allowing crime against Indigenous communities to go unpunished.

During our March MMIW hearing, we heard their names: Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, Mackenzie Howard, Ashlynne Mike, and Savanna Greywind.

I think I speak for both of us when I say how important it is to keep this issue in the spotlight.

I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Arizona is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

No President in the history of our country has ever been subject to as many credible allegations of illegal conduct as Donald Trump. Given the serious nature of these crimes and the President's refusal to cooperate with congressional…
