If you are asked why you oppose the Pechanga amended compact, you can tell them your opposition is based on the Pechanga Band's violations of the Indian Civil Rights Act and the fact that thesState Legislature has previously committed to support and enforce the Indian Civil Rights Act.
Any amended compact should have language that enforces the ICRA and prevents tribal officials from claiming immunity from suit so as to escape prosecution for their illegal actions.
