Federal and local authorities in Idaho have finally apprehended the radical suspect accused of attempting a domestic terror attack against a DHS/ICE facility.
The Gateway Pundit reported last week that an anti-ICE agitator stole an ambulance, packed it with gas cans, and rammed the emergency vehicle into a DHS office in Meridian, Idaho.
Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole the ambulance from St. Luke’s Hospital and poured accelerant inside of the vehicle.
“We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act,” Police Chief Basterrechea said.
“The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” he said.
The police chief said “there has been a lot of rhetoric surrounding the Department of Homeland Security leasing office space at this location.”
“Comments on social media, such as ‘property damage isn’t violence,’ is absolutely false,” he said.
“This was absolutely an act of violence, and if the suspect had not been interrupted, there is no doubt this building would have been burned, putting the lives of first responders and others at risk,” he added.
According to authorities, 43-year-old Sarah Elizabeth George of Boise was taken into custody Monday evening after Meridian Police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at her Boise residence.
