Last month, Nora Mayby, a reporter in Montana, was looking around on Facebook for story ideas.
In Montana, particularly in rural areas, Facebook is where a lot of news is shared.
And a post from the local sheriff caught her eye.
He said that Border Patrol agents had rocked up outside of business in the very small town of Forade,
Montana, to take someone in, and that he, the sheriff, was trying to assist them.
But then, at the end of his post, he added this.
It's important to note that this man was not a threat, not a danger to his community,
has no criminal history, and has been a great member of this community,
which I just haven't seen a statement like that from law enforcement,
particularly in a really, you know,
conservative area that typically has a lot of support for all types of law enforcement,
border patrol included.
Coming up on Today explained the story of Freud, Montana,
a town where most people voted for President Trump and how residents reacted when reality hit home.
Support for this show comes from the Working Forest Initiative.
The working forest industry is committed to planting more trees than they harvest.
More than one billion seedlings are planted in U.S.
working forests every year, from biologists to GIS analysts, hiring managers, accountants, and more.
Working Forest Professionals have dedicated their focus toward sustainability,
using their expertise to help ensure a healthy future for America's forests.
