State orders parolees to leave Soboba Reservation
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Filed Under: Law

The state of California has ordered parolees to leave the Soboba Reservation.

Five members of the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians are currently on parole. The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ordered them to find housing elsewhere over concerns about violence on the reservation.

Chairman Robert Salgado Sr. called the order discriminatory. "They don't do this in central LA. They're trying to put pressure on us," he told The Riverside Press-Enterprise.

Three tribal members were killed by county deputies in a one-week period in May. There were six officer-related shootings on or near the reservation from December 2007 through May.
