Indigenous Americans Report Pulled From Justice Department Website
A congressionally required report on missing and murdered Indigenous Americans has been missing from the U.S. Department of Justice website for nearly 300 days. The Not One More Report, created under the Not Invisible Act of 2020, was intended to document systemic failures and outline solutions to the crisis of violence affecting Native communities.
The report, compiled through public testimony from more than 260 victims’ families, survivors, and tribal leaders, offered recommendations for improving investigations and coordination between tribal, state, and federal agencies.
Lawmakers Call for Restoration
The report’s removal followed a broader review of federal websites for content labeled under diversity, equity, and inclusion directives. Lawmakers who authored the act — Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) — say they have contacted the administration demanding that the document be restored.
“It’s astounding that an administration that signed this into law now thinks it’s not important,” Cortez Masto said from Capitol Hill.
Why It Matters
The Not Invisible Act was signed by then-President Donald Trump in 2020 to combat the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and men and to raise national awareness. Its disappearance from public view, lawmakers warn, undermines the purpose of the law and the ability of tribes and advocates to use the findings to protect their communities.
The Department of Justice has not said when or if the report will return online.
