flag Montana nonprofit sues over law letting police check immigration status during traffic stops, citing constitutional and profiling concerns.

flag A Montana nonprofit, Valley Neighbors, has sued the state over House Bill 278, which allows police to check immigration status during traffic stops with reasonable suspicion. flag The law, effective October 1, requires reporting undocumented individuals to federal authorities. flag The lawsuit claims the law violates the Montana Constitution by enabling racial and ethnic profiling, citing cases where legally present individuals, including a Venezuelan man and a Honduran mother and daughter, were detained after minor traffic stops. flag Critics, including law enforcement groups, argue the mandate distracts from public safety and imposes an unfair burden on agencies.
