Tiny Idaho Town Sees 300 American Citizens Rounded up by ICE - Children Ziptied!!! - Jesse Dollemore



Feb 11, 2026
Jesse talks about Canyon County Sheriff and Donald Trump bootlicker Kieran Donohue, who called in ICE to the tiny town of Wilder, Idaho (population 1,700) to round up more than 400 people, more than 300 of whom were American citizens. After all the chaos and brutality, only 5 arrests were secured. Those 5 arrests weren't for serious or violent crimes. They weren't even immigration related. The 5 arrests were gambling-related, since the round-up happened at a horse race.

________________________________________________

Sheriff Donohue called on ICE to raid a horse racing event in October 2025, saying that the event had suspected Mexican cartel links. He rejects accusations of excessive force, insisting that his tactics were appropriate for suspected gang members.

or the excuses he made for acting out bigotry are so thin they make Salome’s veils look as thick as Shetland sweaters.

Of Wilder, Idaho.

Kind of what the witch trials in Germany did. Between 1587 and 1593, 368 people were burned alive for sorcery in twenty-two villages, and in 1588, two villages were left with only one female inhabitant in each.

At this point they aren't burning alive the people they hate and scapegoat....at least not yet

And at the end of the witch trails it left cities completely impoverished and without the people who did the work.

"At last, though the flames were still unsated, the people grew impoverished, rules were made and enforced restricting the fees and costs of examinations and examiners, and suddenly, as when in war funds fail, the zeal of the persecutors died out."

Amazing the parallels of abuse and hate when people go on witch hunts.
