This bill amends Chapter 6, Title 19 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 19-626, which establishes provisions for law enforcement agencies entering into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The new section defines key terms such as "enforcement and removal operations," "immigration and customs enforcement," "law enforcement agency," and "Section 287(g)," which allows local law enforcement to perform certain immigration enforcement functions under federal oversight. It mandates that each law enforcement agency in Idaho apply for participation in the Section 287(g) program, including various operational models, and requires agencies that cannot enter into such agreements to publicly state their reasons and efforts to seek alternative cooperation with ICE.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This legislation aims to enhance collaboration between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, thereby streamlining the process for local agencies to engage in immigration enforcement activities.
