#SeditionHunters from the Mountain West will be happy that Idaho extremist #IamPamHemphill is now arrested for her Jan 6 actions! No charging docs yet but it's reported by Boise Public Radio. See thread below for 1/6 sightings... 1/

... and thread by @AFriendlyDad for the past actions in Idaho that got Hemphill named as a Capitol #SeditionVIP. This was not an arrest anyone expected soon, because she hasn't been seen inside the Capitol... 2/

....but the source seems trustable; here's the article by Boise Public Radio reporter @HDruzin. Little detail on actions at the Capitol, so will be very interesting to see the court docs when they're available. What prompted this arrest, why now? 3/

While Hemphill is rumored to have gone inside the Capitol building, there's no clear video evidence noted yet - unless @jocejocejoe has something? May have to just wait for DOJ to post a Statement of Facts. 4/

For a state with small population, Idaho has provided many notorious Capitol perps - #JosiahColt who hung from the Senate balcony, #MichaelPope, an early breacher, & QAnon follower Yvonne St. Cyr aka #WindowWatcher who very visible in the tunnel fight.. 3/

Elderly tunnel fighter #FakeNewsHat who came out of the tunnel bloodied is from Nampa, Idaho... 4/

...and Proud Boys #IdahoPB, #PierrePB, and #BuffaloPlaidPB, who marched in with leader #JoeBiggs, are all identified as from Idaho. ID has low numbers compared to FL and PA, but that's high per capita participation! 5/

Update from @AFriendlyDad who adds some evidence suggesting that Hemphill did indeed go inside and was ushered out by police (see below). So she would be fast-tracked for arrest; #SeditionVIP's who stayed outside will take longer to bring to justice. 6/

And, more receipts on Hemphill from @jocejocejoe and other sedition hunters. She's caught on video in the Rotunda as police are clearing it. 7/

Statement of Facts for #IamPamHemphill released and it's a must-read for ID folks. On Dec. 28 her post implies she knew Jan 6 would be violent: "It's not going to be a FUN Trump Rally that is planned for January 6, it's a WAR!" 8/

How did she know? Hemphill's well-connected to Western extremists. On Jan 6 she urged the crowd "let's go to the Capitol - we did it in Boise" "I'm with People's Rights - Ammon Bundy" Here's Pam on Jun 28 at Bundy's trial for occupying the Idaho Capitol 9/

That video comes h/t @BetoAngelMommas who has been tracking #IamPamHemphill's activities for months...10/

Bundy's invasion of the Idaho statehouse in Aug. 2020 was ostensibly about covid restrictions; Hemphill called them "insanity", claims she was there too. But Bundy & Hemphill are part of a anti-government movement that has been growing for years.. 11/

Were the statehouse invasions of 2020 "practice runs" for January 6th? There was Michigan in May, Idaho in August, Oregon in December, and then the U.S. Capitol in January. The western connection may become more clear as arrests continue... 12/
