During an FBI-led raid in Wilder, Idaho, targeting illegal horse-racing betting, ICE detained around 400 civilians and arrested 105 individuals based on their residential status, separate from the five arrests made by the FBI. Witnesses reported that ICE officers zip-tied and interrogated a mix of citizens, legal residents, and undocumented individuals, with some accounts alleging that children were also restrained and that rubber bullets were fired. The FBI initially denied that children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets but later corrected their statement after being shown a photo of a zip-tied 14-year-old.

First-hand accounts from attendees, including Anabel Romero and Ashley Palomares, described aggressive and violent treatment by law enforcement, including officers threatening to shoot, physically assaulting, and restraining minors at gunpoint. Both women, U.S. citizens, recounted prolonged detainment and questioning about their citizenship, which Romero attributed to racial profiling. The Department of Homeland Security defended the operation, emphasizing the need to uphold the rule of law and protect officers while asserting that non-lethal force was used only after exhausting other options.
