The
Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho is again asking lawmakers for help in resolving a law enforcement dispute.
The tribe was ready to sign a cross-deputization agreement with Benewah County when the county backed out at the last minute. “The county wouldn’t even come back to the table," Rep. Rich Wills (R), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said at a meeting yesterday, The Spokesman Review reported.
The committee voted unanimously to endorse the bill, which allows tribal officers who meet state standards to enforce state law.
