A federal judge in Texas

Child Welfare Act, a decades-
old federal law aimed at keep-
ing Native American families
together.
Backed by the state of

tion petition; the federal law
gives adoption placement
preference to biological fam-
ily members of Native
American children, other
members of the child’s tribe,
or other Native American
families.
Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton sided with the
Brackeens, arguing that the
law unlawfully “elevates a
child’s race over their best
interest.”
The case may end up at
the U.S. Supreme Court
