Immigrant Support Resources in Idaho

Idaho Rights Coalition focuses on documenting the impact of federal immigration enforcement on Idaho communities and connecting Idahoans with their elected representatives. For those seeking direct legal help, or wanting to understand how Idaho’s own agricultural industry is responding, the organizations below provide services and leadership across the state.

Featured Partner

The Idaho Dairymen’s Association (IDA) has been the most consistent industry voice supporting Idaho’s immigrant agricultural workforce. IDA has helped fund Catholic Charities of Idaho’s immigration legal services program specifically to support dairy workforce families, and CEO Rick Naerebout has testified publicly and pushed for years for federal visa reform since the existing H-2A program is seasonal-only and doesn’t fit dairy’s year-round labor needs.

“A significant, sudden loss of workforce doesn’t just hurt one farm, it threatens food supply and pushes up prices for everyone.”
— Rick Naerebout, CEO, Idaho Dairymen’s Association

IDA’s work is a concrete example of Idaho’s own agricultural industry supporting its workforce not just advocating for policy change, but funding the legal aid that helps dairy families navigate an uncertain system today.
