Vulnerable Dem meets with group that supports 'halting' deportation, employs reps with anti-police views
Fox News
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., met with a group of representatives from Voices for Progress, a group that seeks to "halt" deportation efforts.
New figures reveal there are 7.4 million migrants on ICE's non-detained docket as a result of the open southern border under the Biden administration, with Tester's own state seeing direct effects of drug trafficking after reporting a 1,900% increase in fentanyl-related overdose deaths in Montana from 2017 to 2023. Additionally, there were reportedly 7.87 kilograms of fentanyl, or 106,500 pills seized in Montana during calendar year 2023, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Despite the direct impact on the Big Sky State, the group Tester met with advocates for "halting expansions of immigration detention and deportation."
