Idaho generally follows federal immigration law, with local law enforcement cooperating through programs like the Criminal Apprehension Program, which checks the immigration status of convicted offenders. The state requires government agencies and contractors to use E\u2011Verify, limits driver\u2019s licenses and public benefits to those who can prove lawful presence, and does not offer in\u2011state tuition to undocumented students or DACA recipients.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Immigration laws are primarily enforced by federal agencies. But states have their own rules that affect the daily life of immigrants and the services they can access. These rules and regulations vary by state.<\/span><\/p>\n
