Idaho Sheriffs slam D.C. pressure to resurrect failed immigration enforcement bill

The Idaho Sheriffs’ Association is pushing back against what it calls a "deliberate attempt" by out-of-state political forces to resurrect a controversial immigration enforcement bill that died in a Senate committee.

The backlash follows reports that Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, allegedly contacted Idaho’s executive and legislative leadership on March 17 to pressure them to resurrect House Bill 659.
