▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation, the Idaho Immigration Cooperation and Enforcement Act, or "Idaho ICE Act", fulfills Idaho's commitment to support the Trump administration in the identification, detainment, and deportation of dangerous illegal aliens found in Idaho. President Trump has identified a strategic priority of removing from the United States those illegal aliens who "threaten the safety or security of the American people," particularly those involved in criminal cartels, foreign gangs, criminal organizations, and human trafficking and smuggling. See Executive Order of the President, Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20, 2025). This legislation prohibits the illegal entry into, or illegal presence in this state, by a person who is an alien from a foreign nation. The legislation also prohibits re-entry into Idaho after deportation, facilitates cooperation between Idaho law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, prohibits trafficking a dangerous illegal alien in Idaho, and provides for enhanced criminal sentences for illegal aliens committing dangerous crimes in Idaho. The Idaho ICE Act will increase the safety and security of Idaho's communities and highways.
