FBI modifies statement on reports of zip-tied minors in Wilder raid after questions from Idaho News 6

CANYON COUNTY, Idaho — The FBI issued an updated statement on Wednesday after Idaho News 6 questioned the agency’s denial that children were zip-tied during a federal raid at a horse track in Wilder on Oct. 19.
Earlier, an FBI public affairs officer sent an email to Idaho News 6 stating, “Reports suggesting children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets during the October 19 FBI-led operation in Wilder are completely false.”
During coverage of the raid, Idaho News 6 obtained a photo showing a 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties. The newsroom sent the image to the FBI in response to the initial statement.

The FBI later replied with an “updated statement” that said, “Reports suggesting young children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets during the October 19 FBI-led operation in Wilder are completely false.”
Idaho News 6 followed up to clarify what age is defined as a “young child,” but has yet to hear back. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Give Ford, Idaho Vandals grace and time to build the program

However, the subtext with two of those losses is that starting quarterback Joshua Wood has been out with a lower-body injury. In one of the four losses, he played the entire second half with an injury as well.
Ford said that there was no reason to rush Wood back and did not want to risk any further injury for the QB. He said the long-term goal is to have Wood ready for multiple years to come on the Vandals.
Idaho is planning to take an intrinsic look within the program and reassess what might be working and what may not.
“And so obviously, when you’re in a spot where you’ve lost four games in a row, you’ve got to really look inside and see what’s important,” Ford said. “And right now, what’s important is this team’s got to get better. I think you’re really seeing our youth on display in a lot of areas, and we’ve got to coach them better. Starts with me.”
Ford said that the plan is to do a better job at play selection with the talent the team has and try to get back to winning. He said the big focus of the week is “doesn’t matter, get better.”
Obviously there is pressure when you should be a top team in the Big Sky and in the FCS with the success that the Vandals’ have had recently with Eck, but historically, his time with Idaho is an outlier.
I’m not saying that Ford is bound for Paul Petrino type years. Let’s say Idaho sticks around the bottom of the Big Sky for the next couple years, then I think it would be right for the university to move on from him and his coordinators.
Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised for them to move on from one of their coordinators after this year.
But in reality, it takes time to build a successful program. Idaho should give Ford time to build up his recruits, work the transfer portal and continue to build the team up for next year and the years after.
