COEUR d’ALENE — Idaho Gov. Brad Little said Wednesday that the state will spend up to $300,000 to pay for Idaho State Police to transport people who have been convicted of crimes and don’t have legal authorization to be in the United States to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers for deportation.
