The Abuse of Power Against Elders of the Nooksack 306: Formerly Fired Nooksack Police Officer Causing FEAR in the Community; Continues to Menace Families

 

Could have sent a letter

Jeremy Hoyle, the Nooksack police officer who has been terrorizing Nooksack families and elders at their doorsteps for the past year and a half, was previously fired by the Lummi Nation for his "apparent disregard for the health, safety, and welfare of minors." It is clear that Hoyle is unfit to serve in a police uniform, and his behavior is causing immense fear and distress in the community.

The continuous serving of court papers to Elders could easily be done via certified mail or email, rendering Hoyle's armed presence unnecessary. Yet, Nooksack families live in constant fear that he will resort to physical violence while attempting to evict them from their federal tax credit homes. This situation is unacceptable and inhumane, putting the safety and wellbeing of community members at risk.

It is time for the Nooksack Tribe to take action and address the power and thuggery exhibited by Officer Hoyle. The community deserves to feel safe and protected, especially the most vulnerable among them - the elders. The Nooksack Tribe must hold Officer Hoyle accountable for his actions and put an end to this abusive behavior.  Justice must be served, and steps must be taken to ensure that such incidents do not occur again in the future. The dignity and respect of the community members, particularly the elders, must be preserved at all times.
