MSU rally opposes anti-immigrant ballot measure

The Bozeman Daily Chronicle covers a snowy Montana State University rally against LR-121. Students, Latino community members, and human-rights advocates warn about profiling and service delays, while Shahid explains that a driver's license does not prove citizenship and a federal database error could send a lawful resident's name to immigration authorities.

The rally brought together Tias y Tios, the Gallatin Valley Human Rights Task Force, the Montana Human Rights Network, and MIJA. It showed that opposition to the referendum was rooted not only in legal doctrine but in relationships with families who lived and worked in the Gallatin Valley.
