A Saturday morning vandalism appears to be related to ongoing tensions surrounding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to a Boise Police Department news release, around 7:25 a.m., officers responded to a report of vandalism on South Vinnell Way at an office leased by the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. The building was spray painted and windows were shattered.

The vandalism occurred at an office located across the street from Paul Mitchell The School Boise and on the same strip as some other government agencies.

According to ICE’s website, the Boise office is one of dozens of Enforcement and Removal Operations sub-offices across the nation. These offices can serve as check-in locations for non-citizens, often guiding them through removal proceedings.

Little information has been released, with an investigation ongoing. The building was reportedly unoccupied at the time of the vandalism and Boise police will be providing extra patrols in the area.

The BPD said it is unknown whether the vandalism has any connection to an incident that occurred in Meridian on Wednesday night, when officers responded to reports of a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance that had been stolen out of the ambulance bay at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center. As previously reported by the Idaho Press, the suspect drove the ambulance through the front doors and windows of the Portico North Office building, which recently garnered attention for housing DHS offices.

Inside the building, the suspect allegedly spread an accelerant to help the spread of fire before fleeing the scene. The individual was not able to light a fire before seemingly being scared off by responding agencies.

As of Monday, the suspect in the Meridian incident has not been caught.

The rise in tensions comes amid heightened fears surrounding nationwide ICE detainments, particularly in Minnesota. “Operation Metro Surge,” launched by President Donald Trump, has consisted of 3,000 immigration enforcement agents patrolling the state since December.

According to reports by the Minnesota Reformer, the operation was called off on Feb. 12 and the state has seen “significantly less federal immigration enforcement activity.”

Idaho has seen its share of ICE activity as well. In October, ICE detained hundreds of people in the rural town of Wilder and ultimately arrested 105 individuals.

The Feb. 6 detainment of a father outside of a Spanish-speaking day care also caused a stir, with ICE officers detaining the man after he dropped off his 2-year-old child.

As the BPD continues to investigate Saturday’s vandalism, any tips can be shared with Ada County Dispatch at 208-377-6790.
