Montana’s Mixed Views on Immigration | Bozeman News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 17, 2026 Duration: 1:30

Montana’s immigration views are sharply split: 49% support ICE, 40% oppose, with Republicans and older voters leaning yes, Democrats and younger folks saying no. Most Montanans (58%) back local cops working with ICE—Republicans overwhelmingly agree, Democrats mostly don’t. A strong majority (66%) favor a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants meeting requirements, rising to 72% for Dreamers. On hiring more ICE agents, opinions are mixed—but everyone agrees federal officers need better training and higher standards.
