AG Barr to unveil plan on missing, murdered Native Americans

PABLO, Mont. — Attorney General William Barr will announce a nationwide plan on Friday to address the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous people as concerns mount over the level of violence they face.

Barr will announce the plan, known as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Initiative, during a visit with tribal leaders and law enforcement officials on the Flathead Reservation in Montana.

Native American women experience some of the nation’s highest rates of murder, sexual violence and domestic abuse.

A report released last year by the Urban Indian Health Institute said there were 5,712 cases of missing and murdered indigenous girls in 2016, but only 116 of those cases were logged in a Justice Department database. The National Institute of Justice estimates that 1.5 million Native American women have experienced violence in their lifetime, and more than 50 percent of Native American women experienced sexual violence.

So what's the angle? If Barr is involved, there has to be an ulterior motive. fleur-de-lisa Nov 2019 #5

There is always a motive and usually it always benefit Barr and associates and not the true victims.

He doesn't care about women, he doesn't care about indigenous people and he sure as hell doesn't give a shit about indigenous women.
