2025 Legislative Session: Immigrant Rights

Lawmakers launched unprecedented attacks on Idaho's immigrant community in 2025—leading the ACLU to launch two lawsuits against new unconstitutional, anti-immigrant laws.

Although Idaho’s lawmakers have created legislation against immigrants in the past, to varying degrees of success, they’ve never attempted to supersede the federal government’s authority regarding immigration enforcement. Until this year.

This isn’t just about policy anymore—it’s about an intentional and cruel attack on immigrant communities in Idaho. Lawmakers are targeting immigrants with the kind of vitriol we used to see on the fringes, but now it's becoming normalized in the legislative process. The language and tone we’re hearing from some lawmakers now goes beyond policy disagreement—it’s flat-out dehumanizing. That’s why we’re fighting back.
