A:
FBI agents generally need federal warrants to execute or supervise arrests on tribal land. Tribal warrants should be executed by reservation police officers, as stated in the tribal law and order code.
If FBI agents act without a federal warrant, it might be a violation of tribal sovereignty and legal protocols. This situation can create jurisdictional conflicts and undermine the authority of tribal law enforcement.
It's important to consult with a legal expert familiar with federal and tribal law to understand your rights and the proper procedures in such cases. They can provide guidance on how to address any potential violations and ensure that tribal sovereignty is respected.
