HELENA, Mont. (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sought Tuesday to deepen ties with Native Americans by allowing more tribal nations to tap into national anti-crime databases.

Sessions detailed the move as part of a package of measures to help tribal authorities combat crime on reservations from the Puget Sound area of Washington state to the Adirondacks in New York.

The centerpiece is an expansion of an Obama administration program launched in 2015 that gives some tribal nations access to the criminal data.

Nine tribes were already a part of the program that Sessions said he would expand to 10 more tribes. The move was first announced in December.
