Facing Federal Prosecution in the Northern District of Oklahoma After McGirt?

Here’s What You Need to Know

The McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020, has caused a dramatic increase in federal prosecutions in the Northern District of Oklahoma. The ruling affirmed that much of northeastern Oklahoma, including lands within the boundaries of Native American nations, is considered Native American territory for federal jurisdiction purposes. As a result, criminal cases involving Native American defendants or victims, which were previously prosecuted by the state, now fall under federal jurisdiction. This has led to a surge in the number of cases being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District, significantly impacting the federal court system. For individuals facing charges in this district, it is essential to have a defense team well-versed in the complexities of these new federal proceedings.
