ICE arrests illegals inside the Idaho courthouse as federal agents enforce immigration law in Canyon County. 

Plus, catastrophic flooding devastates northern Idaho's Silver Valley with atmospheric rivers dumping five inches of rain in 24 hours, the Old State Saloon offers free beer to those who deport illegals, and President Trump announces $12 billion in relief payments to struggling Idaho farmers. 

We also cover the Idaho Freedom Foundation's bold $1.9 billion budget cut proposal, Dorothy Moon's challenge to public school spending despite $3 billion budgets, and Idaho's ranking as the 7th worst state for drivers.
