Trump Cancels Critical Report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People

An essential report focusing on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) in Arizona and nationwide has been removed from federal websites. This action aligns with the ongoing efforts of the Trump administration to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion materials from government platforms.

Originally developed under the Not Invisible Act, the report aimed to address and combat the alarming rates of violence facing Indigenous communities across the United States. It was recognized for its potential to spark impactful changes in policy and support systems for marginalized populations.

Advocates for Indigenous rights have expressed concern over the removal, calling it a significant setback in addressing systemic issues and violence. The discontinuation of such vital resources raises questions about the federal government’s commitment to protecting vulnerable communities.

As discussions about the report’s implications continue, activists are urging for renewed focus and action on these critical issues affecting Indigenous populations.
