- Indian Tribes: Tribes could request U.S. Marshals Service help with Tribal fugitive matters, putting those cases explicitly into the scope of Marshal assistance.
- U.S. Marshals and protection programs: The bill adds the word "Tribal" into statutes that govern Marshals and protective components so Marshals can coordinate with Tribal authorities on fugitives and protective details.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Add Tribes to threat protections
If enacted, this bill would add Indian Tribes and Tribal law to a federal threat protection statute. It would name Tribes alongside Federal, State, and local components in that law. That would make Tribal entities explicitly eligible for the same protections and references in that section.
Marshals help for Tribal fugitives
If enacted, this bill would let Tribal governments ask the U.S. Marshals Service for help with Tribal fugitive cases. The Marshals could provide assistance when an Indian Tribe requests it. The change would also list Tribal entities alongside local entities in the statute.
