## Resource

Montana’s top legal battle over immigration enforcement heats up as County Attorney Audrey Cromwell defiantly takes on Attorney General Austin Knudsen, who demanded she hand over sensitive records to ICE—only for her to argue that federal agents shouldn’t bypass courts for civil immigration cases. With Knudsen claiming supervisory authority and Cromwell refusing to comply, the dispute has escalated to the Montana Supreme Court, where the future of state-federal cooperation—and local control—is being decided. As ICE’s involvement in community removals grows murky, Cromwell’s stand isn’t just about records—it’s about protecting her county from unlawful orders and setting a precedent for how power should be balanced between state and federal agencies.
