BOISE, Idaho Five Idaho State Police troopers will go to Arizona for 21 days to help with border security, Gov. Brad Little said Thursday.
The Republican governor said the troopers will will start a 21-day mission on Tuesday to help Arizona law enforcement officials with intelligence gathering and investigative work to prevent illicit drugs from crossing the border.
“The crisis at the United States-Mexico border and the alarming bump in illegal drug activity are direct results of failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration that harm the people of Idaho,” Little said in a statement.
Republican Govs. Doug Ducey of Arizona and Greg Abbott of Texas sent a letter to fellow governors last month asking for law-enforcement help.

Humble said it would be “super bad optics” for the HHS to deny waiving the PREP Act.
“After they (waive the PREP Act), the logistics would be pretty simple: All you need to do is get the vaccine, maintain the cold chain, get it to the consulate, or a single consulate in Arizona, who could then take custody of it, and move it across the border and get it to the Sonoran health department or the hospitals or however they’re gonna use it down in Mexico. So the barriers aren’t logistics at all; the barriers are administrative.”
