Dramatic Footage Captures Chaos During FBI Raid in Idaho [Video]

'Tense', is how many in the community have described an incident that took place earlier today in Wilder, Idaho--where the FBI conducted an operation surrounding alleged 'illegal gambling' at a local horse track.

It didn't take long for the scene to become something that was all over the internet--as multiple federal and local agencies moved in to the race track--including drones and helicopters.

Those at the scene claimed to have see the DEA, Border Patrol, ICE, the Canyon County Sheriff's Office (where the literal Sheriff was riding a horse), and the Idaho State Police.

Take a look at some of the scenes from this afternoon's FBI raid in Wilder, Idaho:

From all of the videos that have surfaced, it became clear that it was a a chaotic incident that left many wondering what was going on in their area. 

Panic ensued as many were separated from their families or loved ones during the raid--some seen being apprehended by chains and zip ties -- some folks being driven off and others, like children, being released back to their families.

According to Idaho News 6, there is a criminal complaint that alleges Ivan Tellez, the owner of the horse track, was running an illegal gambling business.  It also names other horse owners. In Idaho, a license is required for such an operation.

We expect more information to come out as soon as Monday, October 20th, when authorities could have more availability to talk.
