Marijuana prosecutions for greatest safety threats
Yesterday, the attorney general rescinded the Cole Memo on marijuana prosecutions and directed that federal marijuana prosecution decisions be governed by the same principles that govern all federal prosecution decisions. The United States Attorney's
Office in Montana is guided by these principles in marijuana prosecutions--focusing in particular on identifying and prosecuting those who create the greatest safety threats to our citizens and communities.

On Immigration:
Use immigration charges to get people off the street
So you know, we've had in our toolbox for some time- firearms charges, drug charges, human trafficking charges- that we can use when we encounter dangerous people in the community.
Now we're going to have our immigration charges at our disposal too, to help us identify and get these people off the street, either through criminal prosecution or through administrative deportation.

On Principles & Values:
Defended his Christian faith while in Ivy League school
Alme is quick to joke that his diploma from an Ivy League institution shouldn't be a mark against him. "Don't hold it against me," he said to laughs in Livingston. "I always tell people that we were able to come back to Montana with our
Christian faith and with our conservative principles still intact, in fact maybe a little bit sharper from having to defend it more frequently."
