Supreme Court rejects Tulsa's request to issue speeding tickets to Native Americans -

The city is still fighting a ruling against it in the lower court, but had hoped it could still enforce city ordinances without complication while the litigation is pending. But the high court’s move on Friday rejected that request.

Subsequently, though, he challenged the penalty after the Supreme Court issued its 2020 ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma, where the high court ruled 5-4 that Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction to prosecute an American Indian man for sex crimes against a child located on Indian territory.Critics, though, have said the ruling has sent shock waves through the state, creating chaos for law enforcement.

Ninety-five percent of Tulsa, though, is considered Indian country, according to the city’s court filing.
