A bill introduced Tuesday in the Idaho Legislature would extend the criminal penalties for online sexual enticement of a child to apply when the victim is under the age of 18. The law currently only applies if the victim is under the age of 16. #idleg #idpol

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

After the city of Boise declared the LGBTQ+ pride flag as an official flag to work around a state law, an Idaho Republican lawmaker proposed banning cities and counties from flying their own official flags. #idleg #idpol
New Idaho bill would fine cities for flying LGBTQ+ pride flag • Idaho Capital Sun
Idaho Republican Rep. Ted Hill's bill would create fines for government entities that violate a recent state law restricting flag displays.

Rep Hill is once again targetting Boise and the pride flag displays. His new bill would also prohibit city flags, and add a $2k a day penalty to cities who don't comply. Very flawed bill. I'd be surprised if it passes in its current form. #idleg #idpol

About 300 ballots in Elmore County were not counted in the results of the Nov. 4 election. The Elmore County clerk notified the Secretary of State’s office of the discrepancy last Friday, kicking off an investigation into what happened.

Confirmed the use of rubber bullets and the detainment of US Citizens, women, and children at the family friendly event in Wilder. Government is not supposed to terrorize citizens.

Update on what happened in Wilder yesterday. We will continue sharing updates as we verify new information.

If you wish to support, you can donate to our Idaho Familias Assistance Fund to support impacted families: givebutter.com/ifaf
Graphic detailing excessive force and detainments at a Wilder, Idaho event. Transcribed Text: Here’s what we know about yesterday’s events that took place at a family-friendly horse racing event in Wilder, Idaho: • Excessive uses of force were documented, including the detainment of women and children and the use of rubber bullets against unarmed protesters. • Several U.S. citizens were detained by ICE for immigration questions. • Multiple state and federal agencies were involved. ACLU Idaho Text graphic criticizing government actions, with ACLU Idaho logo. Transcribed Text: Let’s call this what it is: A despicable and unacceptable display of force from our government aimed at traumatizing and abusing people in Wilder, and beyond. Events like this cause serious trauma to family members and children who have to watch their parents be detained without explanation. This show of force also deteriorates trust between Idahoans and law enforcement. ACLU Idaho Text on a black background expressing concerns over law enforcement actions, ending with a demand for better accountability. Transcribed Text: No matter what nonviolent illegal activity the agencies suspected was occurring at this event, sending large numbers of heavily armed enforcement agents to terrorize a family-friendly event is unwarranted and several steps too far. We demand better from our elected officials and law enforcement agencies. ACLU Idaho Digital graphic with information on how Idahoans can help, featuring ACLU Idaho's logo. Transcribed Text: What Idahoans can do: Donate to our Idaho Familias Assistance Fund. Support Idaho families who are currently separated from loved ones. Exercise your First Amendment rights. Speak out against these injustices and in support of your immigrant neighbors. We will share more about how you can help in the coming days. ACLU Idaho
