Federal immigration officials say 105 people were arrested over the weekend during an operation at a horse track in Wilder, Idaho about 40 miles west of Boise.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement to the Scripps News Group in Boise that its officers dismantled an illegal horse-racing, animal fighting, and gambling enterprise at the La Catedral Arena. The arrests were part of a coordinated law enforcement effort involving multiple agencies.
Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are dismantling criminal networks in the United States, the agency said.
The statement comes after the FBI confirmed four individuals were taken into custody Sunday, and a fifth on Monday, in connection with an alleged illegal gambling business at the same location.
