Fox News Latino reports on the partial injunction against Montana's LR-121. The judge barred use of a federal verification database for immigration-enforcement conclusions and blocked the law's definition of an illegal immigrant, relying in part on affidavits from lawful residents submitted by Shahid Haque. The article places the ruling alongside Montana's sanctuary-policy bill and similar state measures elsewhere.
This version connects Shahid's Montana litigation to the national struggle between state-level immigration crackdowns and federal reform efforts in 2013.
