Trump approves aid for Amber Alerts in tribal areas pushed by John McCain, Andy Biggs

Tribal areas are permanently eligible for assistance using the emergency Amber Alert system under a new law pushed by Arizona's Sen. John McCain and Rep. Andy Biggs.

President Donald Trump signed legislation that makes permanent a federal program to help tribal areas implement the child-abduction system. It came about after the 2016 slaying of Ashlynne Mike, an 11-year-old Navajo girl. Authorities waited a day after her family reported her missing to post alerts about her disappearance.
