Montanas Attorney General Austin Knudsen sent a cease-and-desist letter to Gallatin County Attorneys Office, accusing them of blocking confidential criminal justice info from federal immigration agents. Knudsen argues that the countys policy treats U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as illegitimate, contradicting state law. This is the second time in months Knudsen has taken action against local spots on immigration cooperation. Gallatin County Attorney Audrey Cromwell defended the countys position, stating that they review every ICE request individually and prioritize Montanas strong privacy protections. The Gallatin County Commission remained neutral, instructing their staff to cooperate with ICE. Knudsen is urging Gallatin to change their stance by April 6th and report back on any related discussions.
