Supreme Court denies latest challenge to Indian Child Welfare Act

The US Supreme Court has declined to take up the latest legal challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act, the 1978 federal law that gives tribal nations a role in child custody cases involving Native American children. By turning away the case, the Court leaves the law's protections in place after earlier attempts to weaken it also failed.

Why now: The decision ends another attempt to overturn a landmark law protecting Native American families, a long-running legal fight of interest to tribes, states and adoptive families.
