Idaho lawmakers are advancing a bill that would require law enforcement agencies to verify the immigration status and nationality of people arrested in the state. The bill, proposed by Reps. Dale Hawkins and Kyle Harris, would establish reporting requirements for agencies and would potentially withhold state funding for those who do not comply. The Idaho Chiefs of Police Association testified against the bill, raising concerns about potential conflict between citizens and police. The House passed the bill on a 40-30 vote and it now heads to a Senate committee for further debate.
