We are going to court to seek justice and demand accountability after the unconstitutional, military-style operation in Wilder, Idaho on October 19.

No one is above the law.

A child in a folding chair with overlaid text expressing a parent's plea for food and water for their child.

β€œI'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end. As a parent, nothing is more heartbreaking than hearing your child cry out in fear and being told you cannot hold or comfort them.”

Juana is a proud U.S. citizen and one of three plaintiff families in our Rodriguez v. Porter case. The inhumane treatment of Juana and her 3-year-old at the hands of law enforcement is inexcusable. Juana and her child were among hundreds who were terrorized by the government in Wilder that day.

Prayer for Uninteresting Times
Β 
Send me a slow news day,
a quiet, subdued day,
in which nothing much happens of note,
save for the passing of time,
the consumption of wine,
and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.

Grant me a no news day,
a spare-me-your-views day,
in which nothing much happens at all,
except a few hours together
some regional weather,
a day we can barely recall.


Brian Bilston

Let’s call this what it is:

A despicable and unacceptable display of force from our government aimed at traumatizing and abusing people in Wilder, and beyond.

Events like this cause serious trauma to family members and children who have to watch their parents be detained without explanation. This show of force also deteriorates trust between Idahoans and law enforcement.

No matter what nonviolent illegal activity the agencies suspected was occurring at this event, sending large numbers of heavily armed enforcement agents to terrorize a family-friendly event is unwarranted and several steps too far.
