Montana joins Arizona lawsuit to halt Biden immigration plan
By IRIS SAMUELSMarch 9, 2021 GMT
HELENA, Mont. (AP) Montana’s top prosecutor on Monday joined a lawsuit filed last month by Arizona that seeks to halt President Joe Biden’s new immigration policies.
The lawsuit was originally filed Feb. 3 by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, to stop a 100-day moratorium on deportations issued by the Biden administration.
The lawsuit was amended Monday to add Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, also a Republican, and to challenge guidance issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Feb. 18 that indicated the agency would primarily apprehend and remove people who pose a threat to national security or those who’ve committed crimes designated as “aggravated” felonies, such as violent offences or drug trafficking, or recently crossed the border illegally.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge (R) told
The Kyle Olson Show this week a group of attorneys general may take legal action against President Joe Biden’s executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline.
“President Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone pipeline is canceling jobs, it’s canceling energy independence, it’s canceling money in Americans’ pocketbooks,” Rutledge said.
Rutledge said she spoke with Arkansans who were working on or were going to work on the pipeline.
“We had the Keystone pipeline being produced right here in central Arkansas,” she said. The pipe now lays dormant on the ground “and [is] not being put into place.”
