Back to EpisodesHelena Commission Rescinds Immigration Resolution
Description
Helena city commissioners reversed their decision on a resolution limiting local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, following legal pressure from Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen. The move was approved in a tense special meeting, with a four-to-one vote. The reversal came after a hired attorney warned of steep fines under Montanas sanctuary city ban. The original resolution was sparked by community outcry over a local mans detention by immigration agents during a police stop. Officials now plan to update the commission within thirty days on talks with the state, aiming to balance local concerns while complying with state law.
