Over 100 people detained in federal raid at Idaho horse track, ICE says

Source: Scripps News

Posted 6:14 PM, Oct 21, 2025


Federal immigration officials say 105 people were arrested over the weekend during an operation at a horse track in Wilder, Idaho — about 40 miles west of Boise.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement to the Scripps News Group in Boise that its officers “dismantled an illegal horse-racing, animal fighting, and gambling enterprise” at the La Catedral Arena. The arrests were part of a coordinated law enforcement effort involving multiple agencies.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are dismantling criminal networks in the United States,” the agency said.

The statement comes after the FBI confirmed four individuals were taken into custody Sunday, and a fifth on Monday, in connection with an alleged illegal gambling business at the same location.

They restore the child trafficking prevention budget and advertise arresting pedophiles.

Latinos, legal migrant or not, make up the majority of the people who actually do the work in SW Idaho. Farm labor, construction, food service, maintenance.

Horse track today, potato fields tomorrow.

Illegal 'sporting' events? Pretty sure there was betting which means cash. Is it in an evidence locker or just gone?
