Description

The FBI conducted a massive raid in Idaho this week, breaking up an illegal gambling ring at a horse racing track in Wilder, where ICE also arrested illegal immigrants. 

Beyond this major federal operation, Idaho continues to face significant policy challenges as schools across the state refuse to comply with laws banning gender ideology in classrooms, 'No Kings' protests spread in response to federal authority, and officials deport 53 convicted criminals through Operation No Return. 

This week's report examines how authorities enforce the law, how citizens respond to federal policies, and what these developments mean for Idaho communities.
