Idaho House Passes Bill Requiring All Police to Sign 287(g) Agreements with ICE

The Idaho House of Representatives passed legislation mandating all local law enforcement agencies sign 287(g) agreements with ICE, making it the first state to require rather than merely permit participation. The bill now heads to the Idaho Senate. The mandatory approach contrasts sharply with states banning the program and sets up a likely legal challenge over whether states can compel local jurisdictions into federal immigration enforcement.
