Montana Free Press reports that Attorney General Austin Knudsen joined Arizona's lawsuit against the Biden administration's temporary narrowing of deportation priorities.

Shahid Haque disputed those premises, noting that Montana lacked long-term ICE facilities and that serious drug offenses would remain enforcement priorities after state prosecution.
