First Carcieri challenge case to US Supreme Court
From Indian Country Today:
"The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review a federal appeals court ruling that challenges the Interior Department’s decision to take into trust the land that the Gun Lake Casino is built on. This crucial case is the first challenge based on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Carcieri v. Salzar to reach the high court, but it also raises issues that potentially threaten not only the security of Indian trust lands, but also public lands such as forests and national parks held in trust by the federal government."

If the casino is built on a land which is owned by someone else. The US court has the right to take the land and do whatever it feels like doing with it.
