A video circulating on social media shows the time when police opened the back door of a car that was full of people with their faces covered. They were later seen bound with handcuffs and tapes.

Police say they received information about the truck from a caller who said he saw what looked like a small army pressing on the vehicle in a hotel parking lot.
Sheriff Bob Norris said at a police press conference that it might seem that these people weren’t here to engage in peaceful activities.
He explains that they have increased their preparation for the city’s pride event.

Local media also wrote that a gun rights group, Panhandle Patriots, had organized a counter-demonstration against the Pride event. Videos on social media show a group of gunmen holding signs that read “Groomers are not welcome in Idaho.”
