Summary
Teresa Borrenpohl filed a $5 million lawsuit after private security dragged her from a February Republican town hall in Post Falls, Idaho.
Video shows unidentified men, later tied to LEAR Asset Management, forcibly removing her after she loudly questioned officials.
The city revoked LEAR’s license, citing public safety risks. Coeur D’Alene’s city attorney charged six men with battery, false imprisonment, and violations of security conduct.
Borrenpohl also named Sheriff Bob Norris in her tort claim, alleging fear of kidnapping and constitutional rights violations. National coverage has spotlighted civil liberties concerns.
Good to see she included the Sheriff in her lawsuit. The state failed to press charges against him; despite him making first contact, threatening to pepper spray her, physically assaulting her himself, then ultimately giving the order for unidentified private security to remove her.
Glad to see that too. Sheriff Bob should have some significant consequences for his actions.
Hope she gets it
Is “it” money or El Salvador? You have to be more clear nowadays.
I mean, the it in the title of the post
We need a sarcastic font.
I believe whatever the jury awards will actually pay triple. Then she can also sue for all legal fees because a crime was committed.
This is going to eventually happen to ICE as well.
If I were on the jury, I’d give her every penny.
Republicans right now: OK, let’s see where her ancestry leads and how many generations her family has been in the country. There is certainly the possibility for an administrative error if ya know what I mean.
