Governor Little, Idaho and ICE Enforcement:
Governor Little was initially enthusiastic about supporting ICE deportation efforts in Idaho. He stated, “As Commander in Chief, I am proud that the Idaho National Guard always stands ready to support our federal partners in any capacity that strengthens public safety and national security.” He authorized Idaho National Guard to provide administrative support for ICE operations.
After the FBI and ICE raids in Wilder, Idaho, Governor Little’s support for ICE was more measured. When asked about ICE operations around schools, Little said, “I think that they need to be very careful that they’re not violating due process.”
We agree. As long as ICE officers continue to ignore the rights and liberties granted to Idahoans by the U.S. Constitution, Idaho should not be supporting ICE here or elsewhere in the nation.
Please take a moment and let Governor Little know that Idahoans will not stand for the trampling of our constitutional rights by untrained ICE officers. Tell him you agree with his concerns that ICE officers may be violating due process rights and constitutional rights of Idahoans. Governor Little should withhold Idaho law enforcement’s participation with ICE enforcement efforts until ICE can properly train their officers and our constitutional rights can be guaranteed.
Dear Idaho Governor Little,
My name is [NAME] and I live in [CITY]. I am concerned about ICE activity in Idaho and about Idaho National Guard cooperation with ICE and DHS. The FBI and ICE raids in Wilder, Idaho, and the recent surge in Minneapolis showed that some federal law enforcement officers are not interested in protecting our Constitutional rights. I agree with you that federal law enforcement officers should be careful about following due process. I am asking you to limit Idaho’s cooperation with DHS and ICE until they show a commitment to preserving our Constitutional rights. Federal law enforcement officers should follow the same Constitutional protections that all other Idaho law enforcement officers are required to follow.
Until there is substantial change in the operations of ICE and DHS at the congressional level, I ask you to withhold Idaho National Guard and Idaho State Police cooperation with ICE. Idahoans should not have to surrender our Constitutional rights at the hands of federal law enforcement officers.

Dear Idaho Governor Little,
I am writing as a concerned Idahoan about ICE activity in Idaho. The FBI and ICE raids in Wilder, Idaho, showed that some federal law enforcement officers are poorly trained and not interested in protecting our Constitutional or due process rights. I agree with you that federal law enforcement officers should be careful about following due process. I am asking you to limit Idaho’s cooperation with DHS and ICE until they show a commitment to better training and preserving our Constitutional rights. Federal law enforcement officers should follow the same Constitutional protections that all other Idaho law enforcement officers are required to follow.
Until there is substantial change in the operations of ICE and DHS at the congressional level, I ask you to withhold Idaho National Guard and Idaho State Police cooperation with ICE. Idahoans should not have to surrender our Constitutional rights at the hands of federal law enforcement officers.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
