Biden signed an executive order tasking the Justice, Homeland Security and Interior departments with pursuing strategies to reduce crime [on Native American lands, where violent crime rates are more than double the national average].

Such a move would bar new federal oil and gas leasing and development on those lands. Those lands will not be eligible for leasing while the study is underway.
...
