Idaho Woman Forcibly Removed from GOP Town Hall by Private Security

Teresa Borrenpohl, a former Democratic candidate, was dragged out by unidentified security personnel after criticizing Republican lawmakers at a Kootenai County event.

Teresa Borrenpohl was removed from a GOP-led town hall in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, after voicing dissent during the event.
The private security personnel who removed her were later identified as employees of LEAR Asset Management, though it remains unclear who hired them.
Sheriff Bob Norris, in plainclothes, initially confronted Borrenpohl and allegedly threatened her before ordering the security team to act.
Witnesses described the removal as violent, with Borrenpohl being restrained, dragged, and pinned to the ground by the unmarked security team.
The incident has sparked national attention, raising concerns about free speech violations and the use of private security in political events.
