Chairman Sues Tribal Council Over Removal Attempt

White Mountain Apache Tribe Chairman Kasey Velasquez has filed a lawsuit against his tribal council, alleging they are attempting to remove him without following the tribes constitution or providing due process. The dispute began with sexual misconduct allegations in June 2025, but Velasquez maintains his innocence and has pushed for transparency. Recently, a special prosecutor declined to file criminal charges, and the case has been referred to the US Attorneys Office. Velasquez hopes his lawsuit will protect the chairmans office and uphold tribal governance.
