Summary

HB 659 would establish a statewide 287(g) agreement between all Idaho cities and counties and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The 287(g) program allows partnerships between ICE and local law enforcement agencies, enabling local police to perform immigration enforcement duties.

287(g) agreements have been shown to encourage racial profiling, undermine public safety, and lead to civil rights violations.
