Overview
- Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, offered a month of free beer to anyone who helps ICE identify and deport undocumented immigrants from the state.
- The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account reposted the offer with a reaction GIF, amplifying its reach.
- The bar set rules for the reward, requiring evidence submissions by email, capping consumption at two drinks per day for one month, and allowing additional months for multiple deportations.
- The saloon named Ada County Republican vice chair Ryan Spoon as a recipient, and he told Newsweek he redeemed the reward with a beer and spoke with owner Mark Fitzpatrick.
- The offer drew a wave of one-star Google reviews and prompted further provocative posts, including a one-beer “self-deportation” pitch, as coverage framed the episode within the broader deportation push under President Trump.
