Jesse Laslovich has stepped down as U.S. Attorney for Montana after nearly two years in office. Appointed by President Joe Biden, Laslovich focused on prosecuting drug and violent crimes, including major cases in Indian Country. His office worked with tribal and federal partners to combat trafficking and protect civil rights. Under his leadership, firearm prosecutions increased, and initiatives addressing hate crimes and fraud were launched. His departure leaves the position open as federal law enforcement efforts continue.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
