Federal judge blocks Idaho immigration law with preliminary injunction
Fox News
A federal judge in Idaho has temporarily blocked a state immigration bill aimed at allowing local police to arrest migrants suspected of crossing into the state illegally if they are involved in another crime.
The bill, also known as the Immigration Cooperation and Enforcement Act, mirrors a similar 2023 Texas law which faced pushback by the Biden administration. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

Gov. Brad Little signed the bill into law on March 27 and it became effective immediately, but Brailsford blocked Idaho from enforcing it through a temporary restraining order that she later extended in response to a lawsuit by the ACLU of Idaho, according to the Idaho Capital Sun. The ACLU argues that the law attempts to supersede federal immigration enforcement by allowing local law enforcement to act as immigration agents.
