How horrible for his family, for him, and for all of the Montanans caught up in this trampling of due process.
Gallatin County voters: email our county commission today and tell them no ICE holds in our jail
Disgraceful. The Froid mechanic and community member taken by ICE (and who just had his felony immigration charge dropped) has now been disappeared out of the jail up in Cascade County
🧵
The agreement our ex sheriff signed w ICE might not even be valid. And we have no clue how much it's costing us financially (or what taxpayers will be on the hook for when someone rightfully sues over this)
Tell our county commissioners you don't want this.

The lack of communication for people caught up in this system is cruel to both families and the people detained.
It also makes it hard for people to get a lawyer.
It interferes with their due process.
ICE detention centers have been notorious for harsh conditions and ill treatment of detainees.
These transfers happen so quickly that it’s difficult for families and lawyers to track and communicate with people being transferred.
As of last year, people have been transferred mostly to the Cascade County Detention Center in Great Falls, where they are held for 2-5 days before being transferred to ICE detention facilities out of state.
The agreement allows the Detention Center to routinely place ICE holds on immigrants detained for misdemeanors. When people have paid their bond or are released pending trial (ie deemed eligible to be released) they are instead held for 48 hours to allow transfer to ICE custody.
Because of this agreement, last year 84 individuals were transferred from the Gallatin County Detention Center to ICE custody, many with only misdemeanor charges.
This is by far the most common path for ICE detention currently in Gallatin County.
Our former sheriff signed what's called a 287g agreement with ICE in 2020.
Do you care about your neighbors in Gallatin County?
Do you support due process for everyone who lives here?
Email the county commissioners today! 🧵

I’m tired of these lazy people living off the government and refusing to work.
"These last nine days, there has been plenty of talk of “Moon Joy,” sure, but, again, my focus is on something deeper and more fundamental too in government and democracy."
Ready to take some local action after #NoKingsBozeman?

Sen. Daines's staff are answering the phone in Bozeman, if you have any thoughts about what the Republicans in power could do to prevent war crimes and unilateral nuclear war.
Call 406-587-3446
If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
Who would be against a great idea like this? Hm well look at this list of bad guys who sued to stop it.
The MT Supreme Court threw out their lawsuit. Read more 👇🏼

Happy 406 day! To celebrate, sign on to the Montana Plan: Let's boot corporate dark money from our elections 👊🏻👊🏻 and get rid of Citizens United, state by state.
Tell the county commissioners you don’t want the 287g agreement. Send them an email today: commission@gallatin.mt.gov
This agreement is probably invalid; we don’t know what it means for liability for our county, or for costs to taxpayers.
That sheriff has since moved on, so now we and our current county government have inherited this 287(g) agreement. None of us had the chance to weigh in on this or to make our voices heard.
