BOISE, Idaho — Earlier this month, Governor Brad Little authorized the Idaho National Guard to provide assistance to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, prompting questions about the Guard's role in immigration enforcement.

Lt. Col. Chris Borders clarified the Guard's limited role when asked about public concerns.

"So a lot of people when they hear this, they think, 'oh my goodness, is the Idaho National Guard going to be out in the field rounding up illegal immigrants?'" asked senior reporter Don Nelson.

"No. We have been authorized to provide administrative, clerical support in the offices of these ICE agents, allowing them to go out and perform the law enforcement duties," Borders said.
