BOZEMAN — A day after a man suspected of being in the country illegally who feared posting bail was released from jail and within an hour taken into custody by immigration officials, Montana's attorney general filed a brief saying a state Supreme Court case filed on his behalf was a "thinly veiled request" for the state's high court to nullify federal immigration law.
Montana Attorney General Tim Fox's brief, filed Friday, called a petition by Arturo Valerio-Gonzales a "thinly veiled request" for the court to nullify federal immigration law. It argues that the Gallatin County jail has the authority to voluntarily comply with an immigration detainer.
