U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines is firing back against the Biden administration’s weak response to an Afghan parolee being charged with sexual assault in Montana. Daines is continuing to demand answers about the vetting process for Afghan evacuees placed in the country as a result of Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.  “Your initial generic statements concerning Zabihullah Mohmand, an Afghan granted humanitarian parole by the Department of Homeland Security and resettled to Missoula, Montana, and who was recently charged with sexual assault, have been deeply insufficient. I write to demand detailed information about Mr. Mohmand, including the exact vetting and

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today introduced a bipartisan Senate resolution to recognize the bravery and sacrifice of wildland firefighters and first responders. “This year Montana faced another terrible wildfire season, and firefighters and first responders across the Treasure State selflessly put their lives on the line to protect Montana families, homes and communities,” Daines said. “It’s an honor to recognize our Montana heroes who risk their lives to keep Montanans safe.” “More than 16,000 firefighters have battled blazes across the West this year, and they deserve our great appreciation.
