IMMIGRATION STATUS AND NATIONALITY OF ARRESTED INDIVIDUALS – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the immigration status and nationality of arrested individuals.
Idaho bill H 474 requires all state and local law enforcement agencies to verify and record the immigration status and nationality of every person arrested during criminal justice processing. It mandates that agencies publish biannual reports by October 1, 2025, detailing crime statistics involving foreign nationals, including arrests of undocumented individuals, specific crimes committed, and reasons for noncompliance. Agencies failing to comply may face withheld state funding. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to all police departments, sheriffs' offices, and the Idaho State Police.
