ACLU Sues Over ICE Raid at Idaho Racetrack

The ACLU filed a class-action lawsuit over an October 2025 raid at La Catedral racetrack in Wilder, Idaho, where more than 200 officers in armored trucks and helicopters descended on the arena. Approximately 400 people, including U.S. citizens and children, were detained for four hours, denied food and water, and zip-tied at gunpoint. The FBI-led investigation targeted illegal gambling but only five people were arrested in connection with that probe—over 100 others were arrested on immigration violations. The suit names ICE, the FBI, and Idaho State Police as defendants.
