Read AG Knudsen's Response to the City of Helena's Request for Dialogue on Immigration Resolution
Knudsen said his office will review any new ordinance for compliance with state law after Helena repealed its earlier immigration resolution.
- On Friday, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen rejected Helena's request to collaborate on a revised immigration resolution, stating compliance with state law is not a "collaborative enterprise."
- Last month, the Helena City Commission repealed an earlier immigration resolution following legal threats regarding Montana's anti-sanctuary city law, as city leaders sought to clarify policies while maintaining compliance.
- In a letter sent Friday, Knudsen wrote that compliance with Montana's anti-sanctuary city law is not "a collaborative enterprise," emphasizing municipalities must follow state statutes without negotiation.
- City Manager Alana Lake stated Helena remains committed to "delivering safe neighborhoods, reliable services, and responsible stewardship of public resources," while denying intent to create a "sanctuary city."
- Knudsen confirmed his investigation into Helena is closed, though he will evaluate future ordinances for compliance; his office claimed last week that Gallatin County failed to follow state immigration law.
