· Great Falls Tribune · By John S. Adams · From the Border Crossing Law Firm media archive.
This Great Falls Tribune front page features the decision striking down most of Montana's 2012 immigration law. The article explains the court's federal-preemption ruling, identifies Shahid Haque as MIJA's lead attorney, and quotes his view that state officials were neither qualified nor authorized to enforce federal immigration law.
Front-page placement reflects the statewide importance of a case Shahid and MIJA had pursued against a measure supported by more than 80 percent of voters.
