MILBURN, Circuit Judge.
Defendants Frederick and Sybil Dakota (“the Dakotas”) and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (“KBIC” or “the Tribe”) appeal from the judgment of the district court granting the United States’ request for declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting, as a violation of federal law, the commercial casino gambling operations conducted by the Dakotas on land under the control of the KBIC. Because we agree with the district court that the Dakotas’ commercial casino operations violate Michigan law and the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, 18 U.S.C. § 1955, we affirm.
