Butte Bozeman, MT, October 1, 2026 — A Montana law firm has estimated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have collectively conducted more than 250 arrests within the state during the current year. The specific name of the law firm providing this estimate was not immediately available.

The estimate suggests a significant level of federal immigration enforcement activity in Montana over the past year. ICE is responsible for enforcing immigration laws within the United States, while CBP is primarily tasked with border security and preventing illegal trade and travel. Both agencies play roles in the apprehension and processing of individuals who are in the U.S. unlawfully.

Details regarding the nature of these arrests, including the specific locations within Montana where they occurred, the circumstances leading to them, or the immigration status of those arrested, were not provided in the estimate. Furthermore, the exact methodology or data sources used by the law firm to arrive at the figure of over 250 arrests could not be independently verified or specified.

No further information was released by the law firm regarding potential trends, patterns, or specific outcomes related to these estimated arrests. Official statements or statistics from ICE or CBP regarding their enforcement actions in Montana for the current year were also not referenced in the summary of the estimate.
