Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation sues Vallejo over temporary casino approvals
The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation filed suit against the City of Vallejo and its council on 8 June 2026, challenging approvals for an encroachment permit and memorandum of understanding with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians. The approvals relate to Scotts Valley’s plan for a temporary casino while it pursues a larger permanent development; details of the lawsuit were not immediately available.
The lawsuit challenges city approvals tied to a proposed casino, leaving the project’s ability to proceed subject to legal proceedings.
