ICE deported over 4% of the population of Wilder, Idaho to stop the vast criminal conspiracy of... gambling at a local horse track, which is the only legal form of sports betting in Ohio.

According to court documents and county land-use permits, the owner of the 24-acre farm, Ivan Tellez, had run races for several years. In February 2025, a confidential informant complained to the F.B.I. about gambling, and federal investigators found betting brackets posted on the Facebook page of a man whom Mr. Tellez frequently called or texted. Investigators used court warrants to track transactions on smartphone apps. An undercover agent who attended a day of races in August and September reported seeing couriers in backpacks taking cash from people in the crowd. The F.B.I. arrived first on Oct. 19, Mr. Carter said. Agents pointed automatic rifles and set off flash-bang grenades as they arrested Mr. Tellez and searched several buildings. Other federal, state and local agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, showed up soon after, sending many in the crowd running into neighboring fields or hiding in their cars. The local sheriff rode through on horseback, and a black, military-style helicopter circled low in the sky. Eventually, everyone there was herded to the end of the track. Most adults, including parents caring for toddlers, and many teenagers had their hands bound. Mr. Carter said he saw federal officers pointing guns at people simply for asking questions, and young teenagers being zip-tied, including Mr. Carter’s 14-year-old daughter. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and an F.B.I. spokesman initially dismissed reports of children being zip-tied and hit with rubber bullets as “completely false,” though the F.B.I. later amended its statement to say no “young children” were bound. Several hundred people were detained for four hours. “They could have gone first thing in the day with a few F.B.I. agents and just arrested the people they had warrants for,” Mr. Carter said. “Instead, they went in at the busiest time with maximum force.” State and federal leaders praised the raid as a successful gambling crackdown, with immigration enforcement being a fringe benefit.
