US EditionGov. Kevin Stitt shares views on proposed agreement in City of Tulsa, Muscogee Creek Nation case
- On Monday, Governor Kevin Stitt released a statement opposing a proposed settlement that would give the Muscogee Nation exclusive authority over prosecuting tribal citizens in Tulsa.
- The settlement follows a legal battle that started in 2023 after the Muscogee Nation sued Tulsa over prosecuting traffic violations by tribal members on the reservation.
- The agreement would halt new prosecutions against tribal defendants by Tulsa and refer traffic cases occurring on the reservation to the Muscogee Nation’s courts.
- Stitt criticized Tulsa for creating a situation that protects tribal members accused of crimes from prosecution, while Tulsa officials maintained that the agreement does not impact other broader legal matters.
- The settlement has drawn opposition from state leaders, law enforcement, and community groups who warn it could undermine public safety and create unequal justice based on tribal status.
