Whitefish police face lawsuit over racial profiling HELENA, Mont. – Beker Rengifo Del Castillo has filed a lawsuit against the City of Whitefish, claiming his civil rights were violated during a traffic stop.

Because constitutional rights must be enforced.

Because the rule of law applies to everyone, even the Governor.

"Rep. Bertoglio’s appointment appears to be a norm without any scrutiny,” Andres Haladay, Upper Seven's senior staff attorney, told The Monitor. “Someone has to stand up for the Constitution.”

In Montana, we are not giving up on the rule of law. We will not stand down. Equal justice under the law is what distinguishes democracies from autocracies and monarchies.

In related news, on July 2, the ACLU challenged ICE and other federal immigration officials’ extrajudicial activities in the Southern District of California. Their complaint here: www.aclusocal.org/sites/defaul...

Attorneys: Helena man unlawfully detained due to racial profiling ahead of traffic stop In a federal district court hearing, attorneys for Christoper Martinez Marvan petitioned for his release, while lawyers representing the government argued his detainment was legal.

Warrantless arrests have no place in a democracy.

From mistaken identity to deportation? ICE roils Helena Christopher Martinez was mistaken for another wanted man. After years of trying to gain citizenship, his family fights to keep him in Montana

Happy 4th of July.

Today we celebrate the 4th Amendment, which prohibits detaining people without reasonable suspicion. Shared racial characteristics do not constitute reasonable suspicion.

In Montana we protect each other against government overreach.

Dinner with Trump costs $1 million a plate at MAGA Inc. fundraisers The eye-popping figure shows Trump's political operation is hell-bent on banking as much as $500 million this summer.

“It's unusual for a sitting president who can't run for reelection to maintain this kind of giant fundraising operation.” Uh-oh. www.axios.com/2025/03/04/t...

“Paid protesters” has been a reliable excuse for the right since the civil rights era.

Segregationists claimed the high schoolers who desegregated Central High in Little Rock were paid to do so.

I’m surprised and not surprised considering ongoing news and the prospect of Project 2025.

But also, here’s this from the AABB.

Court strikes down Montana law narrowly defining 'male' and 'female' • Daily Montanan A Missoula County district court judge has ruled that SB458 violates the Montana Constitution and has struck it down.

And finally, last week, another MT district court granted summary judgment in a case challenging the constitutionality of a 2023 law that unscientifically defined sex as binary, permanently enjoining its enforcement.

Saslav v. Howe For decades, Montana courts and the Montana Legislature have understood that bill drafts and related documents—often called a bill’s “junque file”—are subject to public disclosure under the Montana Co...

Then a MT district court granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Montana Legislature from withholding legislator communications about bills in response to right to know requests from Montanans—returning to longheld open and transparent government norms.
