FIRST ON FOX: Montana’s attorney general is demanding a county reverse a policy whereby the state's top cop denies Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to criminal justice data, warning the position is unlawful and undermines coordination with federal law enforcement, as a top local official pushed back.
Montana banned sanctuary cities under Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte's pen in 2021, and that policy also allows Attorney General Austin Knudsen to enforce compliance and investigate alleged aberrations under threat of civil action against any such state agency or local or county government.
Knudsen notified Gallatin County — anchored by the city of Bozeman — that its policy stance is "legally incorrect" and that Big Sky Country is not Big Sur.
"Let me be clear: Montana is not California. This state does not embrace policies that isolate law enforcement partners or undermine the enforcement of duly enacted federal law," Knudsen will write to Gallatin County Attorney Audrey Cromwell.
When asked about claims her county does not recognize ICE as a criminal justice agency qualified to receive confidential criminal justice information (CCJI), Cromwell said such a claim is not accurate.
When presented with the text of an email sent from her aide to county law enforcement stating the Gallatin County Attorney's Office does "not legally recognize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a law enforcement agency entitled to receive Confidential Criminal Justice Information (CCJI)," Cromwell's office responded several hours later with a lengthy release stating in part that "there is no blanket policy in Gallatin County prohibiting cooperation with ICE or any federal agency, nor is there a policy restricting the sharing of information."
"The County Commission, not the County Attorney’s Office, is the only governing body with the authority to establish county policy," Cromwell's office said.

The illegal alien scum have done a great job dividing Americans. Turning America into the same kind of sewers they floated out of.
Sad.
Unfortunately.
We have VERY few illegals here in Gallatin County.
This is just a rouge assistant who needs to be fired.
Our Sheriff is EXCELLENT and doesn’t put up with illegal activity!
This is because manyAmericans have become cowards.
State officials should just remove the county’s officials. The county is violating state law, and Fed law. Jail the individuals.
Accountability has that effect.
They are taking up all the oxygen in the room and a lot of the money from the taxpayers. It is like Americans are suffering from Stockholm Syndrom.
All 50 states need to make LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUSTICE A DIY thing for its residents. If the Justice departments aren’t going to do it, let WE THE PEOPLE do it. We can save lots of time and money if we can do it ourselves. Let the weaponized judiciary jackasses sit around eating donuts, taking naps and listening to Beyonce and Tater Swuft.

Each summer she returned home to work in the service industry at Billings and Cooke City restaurants, hiking and fishing in the nearby Beartooths on her off-hours. “
Social justice warrior. She has a website.
et tu, Montana?
SURE SEEMS LIKE THE WRONG STATE TO DENY ICE.
After paying that, the poor owner simply has no money left to pay CA vehicle fees.
No, that is the work of the U.S. Democrat politician’s, the illegals have just taken advbantage of what these traitor’s make available for them to do so.
