Getting put into MHP and Helena PD vehicles #mtleg#mtpol
Down at the jail. Rep. Zephyr and a few others are here. Still trying to clarify how many detained and on what charges; hearing a few different things
Deputy at the jail said he thought there were eight people in custody. The charge is criminal trespassing. They likely will be booked and released. None of this is final, as a caveat, but what a deputy with the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office said. @daily_montanan
Paul Kim, who was detained at the Capitol, is the first out of jail. He said he thinks there are six others from the Capitol there with him. He said they all face a criminal trespassing charge and are being booked and released.

Judge sides w/ youth plaintiffs in Held v Montana. Finds MEPA limitation & changes made in SB557 to be unconstitutional. Judge finds plaintiffs have “fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment, which includes climate…” More coming @dailymontanan #mtpol
