Hundreds gather at Idaho State Capitol to protest against Trump's administration – East Idaho News
BOISE (KIVI) — A crowd of hundreds gathered outside the Idaho State Capitol on Saturday in response to a national call for protests across all 50 states.
Organized by the Idaho 50501 chapter, demonstrators voiced their concerns over what they believe is a government that no longer serves the interests of the people.
“It started with a national call—50 protests, 50 states, one movement. Education is the biggest thing — educating people on how our government works and what corruptions exist,” said Kirsten, an organizer of the event.
Protesters carried signs criticizing corporate influence in politics and policies they believe undermine democracy. Some expressed concerns over figures like Elon Musk and the administration’s handling of international relations and domestic policies.
“With Trump taking office and Elon close by his side, we’re here to push our administration to listen to its people and uphold the Constitution,” said activist Jacqueline Siwula.
The Idaho 50501 chapter describes itself as a grassroots movement, welcoming individuals from all political backgrounds who share the goal of government accountability.
For some participants, the rally held personal significance.
“I joined the movement to defend LGBTQ rights and speak out for those afraid to use their voice. Seeing this turnout in Idaho — it’s inspiring. It shows that no matter where we are, we are not alone,” Siwula added.

Audio from a 911 call made after four University of Idaho college students were fatally stabbed reveals the panic of the survivors as they struggled to understand what occurred.
The 911 audio call made on the morning of Nov. 13, 2022, was obtained by NBC News on Friday, about two weeks after the transcript of the call was entered into court documents.
The first person on the phone appears to be in a panic and crying before another woman provides the address of the rented off-campus home on King Road in Moscow, Idaho.
“One of the roommates who’s passed out and she was drunk last night, and she’s not waking up,” the woman tells the dispatcher. “Oh, and they saw some man in their house last night.”
Another woman takes the phone, and the callers appear to check on someone. The audio captured rapid breathing of a caller who sounded as if they were terrified.
A male then can be heard saying, “get out, get out, get out.”
A dispatcher then asks, “Is she breathing?” and a man replies, “No.”
The dispatcher asks if they have a defibrillator in the home, is told yes and was prepared to give instructions when police appear to have arrived. The call ends shortly thereafter.
The transcript of the call was included in a motion filed Feb. 24 as prosecutors sought to include it in the trial of the accused killer, Bryan Kohberger.
Prosecutors say Kohberger, 30, fatally stabbed Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the Moscow home in November 2022.
He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
A motive remains unclear in the slayings.
Kohberger’s trial has been set for Aug. 11. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
