Tribal Council Seized Florida Couple's Daughter!

Florida mom sues Native American tribe after they seized her daughter.
A Florida couple is feuding with their family members over the pair's newborn and it might become an issue in the Supreme Court.

A white man and a Native American woman are fighting with a sovereign court over the custody of their daughter.

Rebecca Sanders and boyfriend Justin Johnson are livid that a Miami-Dade hospital allowed a tribal court seize their child.

Sanders is a part of the Miccosukee tribe and the council believes that the child is of their heritage and must be seized. Now she is suing her tribe, her family and the hospital to get her daughter.

She only had a few days with her daughter and was distraught that her tribal council "kidnapped her daughter right out of her hands."
Florida parents sue the Miccosukee tribe after their resident commissioners took their newborn daughter.
The law with a warrant took the newborn within full right.

The tribal court ordered the baby to be returned to the parents.

Sanders blames her mother Betty Osceola for the issue. Her mother strongly disapproves of her boyfriend.

Tribal sovereignty is controversial. Under the federal law, many Indian nations are protected from state laws. The federal government could interfere in regards of safety and defense. Otherwise, it's pretty much assured that sovereignty is within law.

See mixed race children are on the rise. I am a product of this. I have a son and his mother is white. However, I am in legal jumble with his mother over parenting rights and name change. It's a frustrating experience. Trust me, I feel their pain when it comes to being a parent.
