Supreme Court denies latest challenge to Indian Child Welfare Act
The US Supreme Court has declined to take up the latest legal challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act, the 1978 federal law that gives preference to Native American families in adoption and foster care cases involving Native children. The denial leaves the law in place, and follows the Court's 2023 ruling in Haaland v. Brackeen that upheld its constitutionality. Tribal nations and child welfare advocates have welcomed the continued protection of the statute.
Why now: The Court's refusal to hear the case settles a contested area of Native rights and child welfare law that has drawn years of litigation.
