A major Boise hospital was locked down for about an hour after far-right activist Ammon Bundy urged supporters to head there to protest a child protection case involving a family friend
FILE - In this April 3, 2021, file photo, Ammon Bundy speaks to a crowd of about 50 followers in front of the Ada County Courthouse in downtown Boise, Idaho. A major Boise hospital was locked down for about an hour after far-right activist Bundy urged supporters to head there to protest a child protection case involving a family friend. St. Luke's Health System put the Boise Medical Center on lockdown Tuesday, March 15, 2022.
Several police cars from the Idaho State Police and Boise Police Department responded to the hospital for the protest. Bundy later released another video telling people that child protection workers were poised to move the baby from the hospital to a foster home, and telling them to show up at the facility immediately.
Bundy, who is well-known for participating in armed standoffs with law enforcement, was arrested the following day on a misdemeanor trespassing charge after he protested at a different hospital where he believed the baby was being treated. “I’m not OK with any of this — to be honest with you if justice was to be served, we would go into the hospital, take that baby and we would give it back to their mother," Bundy said.
