Nobody in Wilder, Idaho expected this. The tiny farming town of 1,725 people"where nine out of ten voters backed Donald Trump in 2024"is now scrambling to figure out what comes next after federal immigration agents swept through in mid-October and arrested more than 100 Hispanic workers at a local horse racetrack. So far, 75 people have been deported, and the farms that keep this place running are facing a labour shortage with no easy fix in sight. David Lincoln, who's lived here for years, didn't mince words when he spoke to reporters. The raid has 'nearly destroyed' the town, he said. It's not just about politics anymore"it's about whether the community can survive. |
