The Washington Post reports that a Montana judge invalidated LR-121's immigration checks and service restrictions as an unlawful state attempt to regulate immigration. The article explains that Montana's definition did not exist in federal law and that state officials could not make independent status determinations. Shahid Haque said the surviving reporting clause had little significance without the prohibited screening system.
The report places Shahid and MIJA's Montana victory within national coverage of state immigration crackdowns.
