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.

3. How many people would seek sanctuary in cold Montana ?

And I guess the meat processing plants are going to have to hire only those with American citizenship. I see unintended consequences.

Stating we are a "Nation of Laws".
More like we are a Nation of Laws we pick and chose to observe.

5. This comes from a guy who killed a wolf without a permit.

Laws my ass. The mighty hunter shot a radio collared wolf that was in a trap. This occurred on the ranch of the owner of Sinclair Broadcasting. Gianforte was the wealthiest man in Congress until he left to become governor. He is a snake with big ambitions.
