177. Where the Law Ends — Jurisdiction, Justice & Tribal Sovereignty with Jerome Lucero

What happens when justice hits a jurisdictional wall? In this episode, I sit down with Jerome Lucero, former police chief and three-time governor of the Pueblo of Zia tribe to unpack the tangled web of tribal law enforcement, federal oversight and the devastating consequences of legal fragmentation on Indigenous lands. From the landmark Supreme Court decisions in United States v. Cooley and McGirt v. Oklahoma to a haunting case of one of New Mexico's top fugitives being able to roam freely on tribal lands, Jerome shares firsthand insights into how sovereignty victories can both empower and complicate justice. - Submit your question or express interest in joining the 2025 Listeners Episode here: https://forms.gle/yf9aRU7BokGUTAFj6 Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.com Check out the Silver Linings Handbook website at: https://silverliningshandbook.com/ Check out our Patreon to support the show at: https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbook Join our Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623 Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at: https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-store Visit The True Crime Times Substack at: https://truecrimemessenger.substack.com The Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.
