The Republican governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, has signed new legislation that bans so-called "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens from being established in the state.

While Montana doesn't currently have any sanctuary cities, the move is seen as a warning shot from state GOP executives.

Republicans are pushing back as Joe Biden and a Democratic Congress continue to push progressive reforms.

Similar legislation was vetoed in 2019 by former Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat.

“We are a nation of laws, and immigration laws will be enforced in Montana,” Gov. Gianforte warned in a statement, according to the Associated Press.

The bill bars state and local police from refusing to comply with federal law or work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to apprehend and deport illegal immigrants.

The law also grants authority to Montana’s attorney general to pursue legal action against cities and localities that do not comply, according to The Daily Wire.

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis signed similar legislation into law in his state in 2019.

“This is about the rule of law,” DeSantis said at a signing ceremony for the legislation at the time.

“It’s also about public safety.”

Sanctuary city policies have led to city officials at times protecting violent criminals from federal authorities, helping those criminals avoid deportation and giving them the chance to commit more violent acts.
