State Police are removing dangerous illegal alien criminals

Through Operation No Return, the Idaho State Police are removing dangerous illegal alien criminals from our neighborhoods. We're talking about child rapists, stalkers, violent offenders, kidnappers, and drug traffickers. Idaho is among the safest states in the nation because of our Idaho State Police, and we sincerely thank them. Source: 2026 State of the State Address to the Idaho legislature , Jan 12, 2026

Idaho has sent four missions supporting border states

As President Trump and Congress deliver on their own promises to lock down the border, Idaho stands ready to help deport dangerous criminals here illegally. The Idaho State Police just wrapped up their fourth mission to the border. They intercepted deadly drugs and apprehended criminals coming across the open border under the Biden administration. No other state has completed more missions to border states than Idaho. Source: 2025 State of the State Address to the Idaho legislature , Jan 6, 2025

Send more Idaho troopers to our lawless southern border

We will work even harder to address the open border and its impacts because of the failure of the Biden-Harris administration to admit it's even a problem. The cartel and other bad actors are taking advantage of our open border to manipulate and abuse the most vulnerable, including children. To help curb human trafficking, my IDAHO WORKS plan calls for sending two more teams of Idaho State Police troopers to train and act as a force multiplier at our lawless southern border.

Secure the border to stop supply of fentanyl from Mexico

I have seen for myself how Mexico drug cartels control access into our country under the current administration. The vast majority of illicit drugs in Idaho, including fentanyl, are sourced in Mexico. We will not relent in our efforts to end the supply of fentanyl by continuing to work with our states to the south and helping to secure our border.
