Good morning, NBC News readers.
This morning we take a deep dive into a legal loophole that has left Native American women vulnerable to abuse. Plus, the Biden administration is coming under increasing pressure to help a former Saudi intelligence chief credited with saving American lives. And in New York City, confusion reigns in the mayoral race.
Here's what we're watching this Wednesday morning.
For nearly half a century, tribal nations have lacked the authority to prosecute people who are not members of a tribe — even though, according to the Department of Justice, those non-Native Americans are responsible for most of the violent crimes in Indian Country.
It's a festering legal problem that experts say affects all Native Americans but has been particularly catastrophic for victims of domestic and sexual violence, contributing to an epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women in the United States.
Now, on the heels of a Supreme Court decision that affirmed tribes' law enforcement authority, and with the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act currently before Congress, there is growing momentum to fix the legal loophole that non-Native American criminals have exploited for decades.

One fun thing Arkansas police officer L.C. "Buckshot" Smith recently enjoyed some well-deserved praise.
After serving nearly 60 years in the small town of Camden, Arkansas, his 92nd birthday was honored with community-wide celebrations.
Believed to be Arkansas' oldest cop, he still walks his usual beat and says he has no plans to slow down anytime soon. "I hope I live a long time and continue to help people," he told NBC News.
