""ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!" read a November 29 message posted to the Eagle, Idaho, bar's X account. In a follow-up post, the bar explained that customers can claim their free beers by sending "a detailed email with any evidence, photos, videos, summary of events, dates, and times etc" to a dedicated email address."
"The same day, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's official X account reposted Old State Saloon's offer, which as of December 1 has received 5.8 million views. Later on Saturday, Old State Saloon posted screenshots to X indicating that Meta had removed its free beer offer from its Facebook profile, along with older anti-Pride posts from this past June. "Facebook is so gay," one of the bar's X posts read."
"After DHS amplified Old State Saloon's free beer offer, the bar's Google listing was inundated with one-star reviews. The bar's management appears to have spent the weekend responding to the negative reviews, accusing users of being "liars," "libs," and "losers.""
