Boise, Idaho ~ In a recent announcement, Governor Brad Little of Idaho revealed that the Idaho State Police (ISP) has entered into an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the 287(g) program. This agreement will allow ISP to transport dangerous illegal alien criminals directly from Idaho jails to ICE detention facilities for deportation.
This move comes after President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border on his first day in office. The 287(g) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), allows state and local law enforcement officers to perform certain immigration officer functions under the direction and oversight of ICE.
Under this agreement, Idaho will utilize the Jail Enforcement Model, which is designed to identify and process removable aliens who have been arrested on criminal charges and are being held in state or local detention facilities. This will enable Idaho to transport the most violent and dangerous illegal aliens, who have completed their sentences, out of local jails.

Governor Little expressed his support for this partnership with the Trump administration, stating that it will help address the national emergency caused by years of reckless border policies under the Biden-Harris administration. He also emphasized that this move is crucial in ensuring the safety of Idaho families.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also commended Idaho for joining forces with ICE through the 287(g) program. She stated that this program is critical in addressing criminal activities at the ground level and praised those who have been involved in making it a success.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons also expressed his appreciation for Idaho's decision to join the 287(g) program. He highlighted that partnerships like this one keep offenders off the streets and protect communities from potential harm.
This new agreement follows Governor Little's Executive Order 2025-03, which aims to strengthen immigration policies in line with President Trump's promise to better protect Americans. It also aligns with House Bill 83, the Idaho Immigration Cooperation and Enforcement Act, which was signed by Governor Little on March 27 and supported by the agriculture community.

Under this new agreement, ISP will be authorized to spend up to $300,000 to carry out up to 100 transports over the next 12 months. Each transport will include multiple dangerous illegal alien criminals, who will be sent to the ICE detention facility in Jefferson County. Additionally, ISP is now authorized to transport these criminals out of state if they are deemed higher profile and more dangerous.
This partnership between Idaho and ICE is a significant step towards ensuring the safety of communities and enforcing immigration laws. With this agreement in place, dangerous illegal alien criminals will no longer be released back into local communities due to a lack of resources on ICE's part. Instead, they will be transported directly to authorized detention facilities for deportation.
