Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the conditional release and deportation of illegal alien offenders.

RS33835 / S1443 This legislation establishes a process by which individuals in the custody of the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) who are subject to a federal immigration detainer and have received a final order of removal from a federal immigration authority may be released to federal immigration authorities prior to the expiration of their sentence where doing so is consistent with public safety and the terms of their sentence. The bill is intended to reduce the cost to the state for incarcerated individuals that will be subject to federal removal proceedings upon release, by allowing for earlier transfer of custody to federal authorities once a final order of removal is in place.
