Interior Allowed To Reconnect To Internet

In December 2001, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the Interior Department to disconnect from the Internet all information technology systems that had access to Indian trust data managed by Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. The ruling was part of a class action lawsuit accusing the government of mismanaging thousands of Indian trust accounts. But now U.S. District Judge James Robertson granted on motions filed by Interior requesting that the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Office of Hearings and Appeals, the Office of the Special Trustee, and the Office of Historical Trust Accounting be allowed to reconnect their networks to the Internet.
