Meet The 5 Terrorist Organizations Operating In Idaho

We are living in a unique time in American history. We're all witnessing changes seemingly everyday right before our eyes and whether we're loving it or hating it, America is just getting warmed up.

America's War On Terror

From the moment he took office, President Trump made it clear that he was going to crack down on the crime taking place in our communities.

One of the ways he's gone about that has been by designating criminal gangs and drug cartels near the border as "foreign terrorist organizations."

By classifying these gangs as terrorist organizations, the government can explore solutions and resources they wouldn't have available to them otherwise - including military intelligence and force.

Just imagine the military implementing drone strikes on a gang like the MS-13.

How Does This Affect Idaho?

Idaho is no stranger to dangerous criminal activity. Many gangs (AKA terrorist organizations) likely don't perceive Idaho as a place that challenges their operations.

This could be because of the smaller population, lack of resources for law enforcement, and even competition from other gangs. Just look at how much gang violence takes place in other states (California, anyone?) that begins over a "turf war."

So, who are these terrorist organizations operating in Idaho and what do we know about them?

As it turns out - quite a bit.

It remains to be seen how many federal resources Idaho will receive or how much help law enforcement will get to eradicate these organizations, but one thing is clear: America ain't messing around and these gangs/terrorist organizations are on high alert.
