BOISE, ID – Idaho Governor Brad Little and House and Senate leadership signaled the State of Idaho’s support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policies on Tuesday as Governor Little signed Executive Order 2025-03, the Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Act.

“The State of Idaho proudly and unequivocally supports the efforts of President Donald Trump both to increase border security and to ensure the immigration laws on the books are followed. No other state has completed more missions to border states than Idaho, and we have expressed our support for the administration’s decisive action in cracking down on illegal immigrants who pose the greatest danger to our citizens,” Governor Little said.

Little’s Office says the State of Idaho plays a critical role in helping federal agencies. However, Governor Little said the federal government was not a strong partner for the State of Idaho over the past four years under the Biden-Harris Administration.

“The State of Idaho is already seeing a huge shift in the level of cooperation from the federal government since President Trump took office one month ago. My executive order reinforces the President’s executive actions that are making our country safer,” Governor Little added.

The order stipulates that Idaho State Police will cooperate with investigative efforts of the US. Department of Homeland Security, the US. Department of Justice, and subsidiary agencies in the enforcement of existing federal immigration laws.  The order also directs the Idaho Department of Correction to collaborate with law enforcement agencies with related jurisdiction to properly confirm an individual’s immigration status prior to their full-term release date.  The full order can be read here.
