Idaho bar offers free beer to patrons who help ICE deport illegal immigrants

Bar patrons are raising a glass to a local Idaho saloon after its viral social media post promised "free beer" to anyone who helps Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track down and deport an illegal immigrant.

The Old State Saloon alerted its followers Saturday, writing on X that "anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH" at its establishment.

The watering hole, located in Eagle, Idaho, added that it "may award multiple months to one person if multiple illegals are deported."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reposted the saloon’s promotion with a GIF highlighting their amazement with the offer. The bar enthusiastically replied, "Let’s go! Deport them all!"

One user responded to the announcement, asking if the saloon could create a leaderboard and champion a "Deporter of the Year" at the end of the year who wins even more free beer.

At least one person has already been approved by the saloon. The establishment posted that Ryan Spoon, vice chair of the Ada County Republican Central Committee in Idaho, would receive free beer from any of its 20 draft options after he provided evidence that he helped ICE make an arrest.

Conservative Gen Z influencer Bo Loudon also responded to the saloon’s announcement, calling it an "incredible idea" on X.

"This is why I love the United States," he added.

While many people supported the saloon’s initiative, others called for the bar to be canceled or boycotted. The saloon even posted negative Google reviews, asserting that "1 star reviews roll in from the loser LEFT."

In 2024, the saloon’s owner Mark Fitzpatrick announced that his establishment would be promoting "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month" featuring discounts and free beer for heterosexual men, women and couples throughout June, in response to Pride Month.

The saloon offers a wide array of merchandise on its store website, including shirts that display the slogan, "Make America Straight Again."

DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Trump highlights federal law granting presidential power to halt immigration as crackdown escalates

President Trump on Saturday pointed to a federal law that grants the president broad authority to restrict immigration, just days after unveiling a sweeping new immigration agenda

In a Truth Social post, Trump highlighted Section 212(f) of the "Immigration and Nationality Act," which allows the president to "suspend the entry" of non-U.S. citizens whenever it is deemed "detrimental" to the national interest.

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate," Trump wrote, quoting the law.

The president’s post comes amid intensifying immigration actions by his administration following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Trump vowed to halt immigration from "Third World countries," reverse Biden-era admissions, and remove foreign nationals he deems public charges, security risks, or "non-compatible with Western Civilization."

He argued that the U.S. immigration system has been overwhelmed and said his approach would allow it to "fully recover." 

Trump also vowed to end federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalize migrants accused of undermining "domestic tranquility," and expand deportations.

On Friday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it had halted all asylum decisions. 

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, has been accused in the shooting of the two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died after the shooting. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains in critical condition.
