“As we’ve done before, Idaho is responding to the call for help from our neighbors along the border. We used a targeted approach to understand Texas’ needs and wanted to make sure our troopers will bring back what they learn to better protect Idahoans. The focus of the mission is two-fold – the ISP troopers will serve as a force multiplier for the State of Texas when there is an increased need for law enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border, and our troopers will receive on-the-job training and experience up-to-the-minute enforcement techniques that can be brought back and immediately applied in Idaho.”-Brad Little

On 19MAY2023, Idaho’s Governor Brad Little revealed some details about his plan to deploy up to 12 Idaho State Police (ISP) troopers to Weslaco, Texas. This is not a spur of the moment decision, it was first announced back in January 2023.

It is blamed on the skyrocketing use of fentanyl.  From 2020 to 2021, the rate of fentanyl-related overdose deaths doubled in Idaho!

Idaho joins Florida in sending personnel to Texas. Governor Little explains how bad the situation is:

The plan to deploy ISP troopers to Texas is being coordinated with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). It is hoped that the ISP troopers will return home with experience that will help Idaho’s fight against fentanyl, however, this is not the first time Idaho has sent ISP to the U.S./Mexico border.  In 2021, at least five Idaho troopers were sent to Arizona, to assist with the flood of illegals crossing the border.

In July 2021, Boise television station KTVB explained how governors can send state personnel to help other states in emergency situations:

Idaho’s ISP routinely patrols the border with Canada.
