The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals hears arguments in Brackeen v. Bernhardt, an Indian Child Welfare Act case, in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 13, 2019.

The key moment in the 90-minute hearing occurred around 1:14:30 in the audio.

"They are not 'your children,'" Judge Priscilla Owen said after Texas raised a state sovereignty argument against ICWA.

She added: "They are members of the tribe before they are 'your children.'"
