BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) – Governor Brad Little’s office says more dangerous illegal alien criminals have been transported out of the country under his Operation No Return, bringing the total number of criminals removed to nearly 100.
“Through Operation No Return, we are making it clear that dangerous criminal illegal aliens who threaten the safety of our communities will not be released back onto Idaho streets. Idaho is tough on crime, and we put the safety of Idaho families first,” Governor Little said.
According to the Governor’s Office press release, Operation No Return operates under the Idaho State Police to take “dangerous, illegal alien criminals out of county jails after the completion of their sentences instead of being released back into Idaho communities. The transports are the first step necessary to remove them from the State of Idaho.”

The transports are part of the state’s agreement with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) under the 287(g) program.
All of them were in the United States illegally and will be deported to their country of origin rather than being released back into Idaho communities after completing their sentences.
