Montana’s immigrant population is small and geographically dispersed, leading to limited legal infrastructure. The state follows federal law without additional restrictions or protections. ICE presence is minimal, but legal assistance is hard to access outside Billings or Missoula. Immigrants in Montana typically need support with family petitions, work authorization, and asylum. Legal planning is crucial for stability, especially in rural areas with few immigrant-specific resources or protections. In Montana, staying compliant means being legally prepared and proactive.
