Trump Sends ICE to Idaho Polls—Lawsuit Filed to Stop It | Ep 138
Trump faces a lawsuit over armed ICE near Idaho polls — civil rights groups say it's voter suppression, DHS says it's only for warrants, and a judge could decide before early voting. This week's Midweek Report also covers a congressional candidate who pleads guilty but stays on your ballot, LDS leadership telling members to vote No on Prop 1, a $34K win for IFPC in the Boise bathroom fight, a $150M factory landing in Nampa, and Team USA winning gold in Idaho waters.
