New Mexico Presses State Rights Over Mescalero Fishing Case
Mescalero Apache tribe seeks a court order blocking enforcement of state hunting and fishing laws on the Mescalero Reservation. The suit argues federal preemption and treaty rights limit state power, while New Mexico contends state ownership and authority over wildlife within its borders. The case hinges on treaty status, statehood disclaimers, and a 1960 trespass law.
