A somber reminder of the brutal reality in New Mexico. U.S. Attorney John C. Anderson spoke out on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives Awareness Day, a day to remember the countless women and girls lost to violence in Native communities.
According to President Trump’s proclamation, the rates of violence against women in Indian Country remain unacceptably high. The U.S. Attorney’s Office joins the President in reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to addressing this crisis.
In a stark reminder of the issue at hand, Attorney General William P. Barr issued a statement on the matter, available at https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-william-p-barrs-statement-missing-and-murdered-american-indians-and-alaska.

The statistics are alarming, with Native American women facing high rates of violence and murder. The federal government’s commitment to addressing this issue is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to ensure the safety of these communities.
