Chapter 21) and its BIA regulations (25 C.F.R. Part 23, including the 2016 final rule); the Indian Civil Rights Act (25 U.S.C. §§ 1301–1304); the Indian Law Enforcement Reform Act (25 U.S.C. Chapter 30); BIA law enforcement regulations (25 C.F.R. Part 12); and the federal criminal jurisdiction framework for Indian Country (18 U.S.C.
