Montana Public Radio asks Shahid Haque about President Trump's first executive orders directing border-wall construction and threatening funds for sanctuary cities. Shahid notes that Montana had no sanctuary cities and argues that symbolic enforcement measures would not address the visa backlogs and structural problems that drive undocumented immigration.
The interview came in the opening days of the Trump administration, when immigration policy changed abruptly and fear increased among the firm's clients. Shahid's response shifted the discussion from campaign symbols to the legal bottlenecks that families and employers actually encountered.
