US EditionWashington has nation’s second-highest rate of missing and murdered Indigenous women rate | Letter | The Journal of the San Juan Islands
- Starting in 2017, the Trump administration intensified efforts through Operation Not Forgotten to investigate cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women across the United States.
- This effort followed reports highlighting inconsistent national and state crime data, lack of law enforcement resources and training, and systemic disparities in reporting missing indigenous persons cases.
- Over 500 unique cases since 2000 were identified mainly in states like New Mexico and Washington and cities including Seattle and Albuquerque, with FBI investigations supporting 500 cases leading to 52 arrests and 25 indictments.
- The DOJ described this effort as the most extensive and rigorous nationwide mobilization of FBI personnel aimed at tackling crime in Indian Country so far, with 60 agents assigned on a rotating basis in 90-day detail over a six-month span to assist with prosecutions.
- The initiative has improved accountability efforts, continues under the Biden administration, and supports families through toolkits and task forces aimed at raising awareness and aiding communities impacted by Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
