After some questioning, the county commissioners requested an in-person meeting be set up with representatives from ICE. Commissioner Strohmaier questioned why ICE would want to have dedicated communications equipment in the Missoula area. Though Strohmaier said he has not yet read the draft agreement ICE proposed, he was skeptical of letting the agency access Missoula County infrastructure.

Draft agreement U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent this draft of an agreement to Missoula County requesting access to the Point Six radio facility.

The city of Missoula has not designated itself as a sanctuary city, or a city that limits its willingness to cooperate with federal immigration and deportation authorities. At their meeting, commissioners did not discuss any previous actions they may have taken as a board, and it was not immediately clear Tuesday if previous commissioners had adopted any related resolutions.

However in March 2017, the Missoula City Council voted to oppose a bill in the Montana Legislature that sought to ban the creation of sanctuary cities in the state. And one year earlier, the council adopted a resolution to join a "Building Welcoming Communities Campaign" to help refugees and support some of the 60 million people displaced by war and conflict around the world.
