Trump Admin Revokes Federal Protected Status of Mashpee Tribe Land
------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe said it will fight back after the Trump
administration announced its reservation would be "disestablished" and
it would lose its land trust status. Trump's move will halt plans to
build a casino which would have competed with nearby casinos in Rhode
Island that have well-established ties to Trump.
