Montana bans sanctuary cities... that it doesn't have

Montana governor signs bill banning sanctuary cities

The Republican governor of Montana signed a bill this week banning sanctuary cities in the state.

Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) signed the bill passed earlier this year by the state legislature requiring all cities in Montana to comply with federal immigration law.

"We are a nation of laws, and immigration laws will be enforced in Montana," Gianforte said in a statement, according to The Associated Press.

The AP reports that the state does not currently have any sanctuary cities.

No word on whether illegal immigrants will be allowed to remain in Montana if they can defeat the governor in a bare-knuckled boxing match.

So you can ban this as an official policy, but you can't stop a city from doing this informally

Greg Gianforte kills black wolf in violation of Montana regulations

The Republican governor of Montana has been slapped with a written warning and directed to take an online education course after trapping and killing a black wolf in violation of state regulations.

Gianforte reportedly trapped the animal on a ranch just outside Yellowstone national park, on property owned by Robert E Smith, a Republican donor and director of Sinclair Broadcasting, the biggest owner of local television stations in the US.

Gianforte had failed to take a required wolf trapping certification course before killing the animal, state wildlife officials said. He has promised to take the course, the public radio report said.

Letter to the editor: We must preserve Montana's legacy of conservation

Senate Bill 267: Authorizes bounty on wolves, disguised as reimbursement of expenses. House Bill 138: Legalizes trapping on private property without landowner permission. Senate Bill 314: Allows for the reduction of wolf population from 1200 to 150.

During testimony on a similar bill in 2019, state wildlife officials said a trapper or hunter could be compensated for "effort,” for example trapping to protect livestock. SB 267 would allow compensation based on success, meaning costs could be reimbursed per wolf killed.

During debate on the House floor, Rep. Bob Phalen, R-Lindsay, carried the bill and said reimbursements could not be publicly funded, but would “guarantee quality trappers out in the landscape.”

Rep. Paul Fielder, R-Thompson Falls, applauded the bill. Wolf trapping is expensive and reduces the need for predator control by federal agents, he said.

“Trapping wolves is providing a service to the state of Montana,” he said. “Trappers provide a service.”

Montana has elected a government of scumbags and bootlickers.

Ok. And I thought just software developers invent solutions for problems we didn't have.

I have some wonderful trivia for you about Gianforte's career before politics. Yes, really.

I, for one, miss the Montana of Burton Wheeler and Brian Schweitzer. So much for being a politically wonky bright spot in the Intermountain West, as nationalization has to kill everything that it touches nowadays.

As if one jfern wasn't too much, we have yet another npc parroting mindless drivel that's fed to them by the fascist apologists.

At least, it is not counterproductive. Some Dems want (and tried) to defund Police in order to - hear me out - reduce crime.
