Idaho bar offering a month of free drinks to customers who help ICE make arrests

Idaho bar offering a month of free drinks to customers who help ICE make arrests
The bar even shared negative Google reviews while mocking leftists’ outrage over their post


An Idaho bar made a splash on social media after offering a month of free beer to customers who helped Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest undocumented immigrants.

The Old State Saloon in Eagle, a suburb of Boise, told customers on social media Saturday that “anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an Illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!”

The small town watering hole added that it “may award multiple months to one person if multiple illegals are deported.”

The bar wrote that any customers who do so should send “a detailed email with any evidence, photos, videos, summary of events, dates and times” to the bar’s email.
The post quickly gained attention from many in the MAGA world who lauded the effort, while comments from anti-ICE Americans were few and far between.


While many seemed supportive in the bar’s post, several commentators were bewildered and outraged by the promotion.
“You would have turned in Anne Frank,” one person wrote.
“That’s a cheap price to sell your soul,” another added.
Another wrote, “Time to cancel this place,” to which the bar replied, “Good luck.”

In my experience, drunks in bars in small towns thrive on "mixing it up", IOW, fights.

There will be some "patrons" who will see a WIN/WIN offer: unlimited free drinks and fights (that won't damage the bar).

put them on the road to financial ruin, but I guess that’s unlikely in Idaho.
