Fort Belknap reservation sues Biden administration over lack of funding for police resources on the vast, 1,042 sq mile reservation

The Fort Belknap reservation in Montana has sued the federal government over lack of funding for police resources on the vast, 1,042 sq mile reservation that has undermined the existing police force's ability to provide basic services.

The lawsuit was filed in October after a request for $5.3m in funding, a $3.8m increase, was denied.
