Woke Boise Mayor Forced to Remove LGBT Flag From City Hall in Light of New Flag Law

The woke Mayor of Boise, Idaho, Lauren McLean (D), was finally forced to remove the rainbow LGBT “pride” flag from its City Hall following implementation of a new flag law.
McLean tried to circumvent a prior law by formally designating the flag as the “official flag of our city” through a resolution.
In 2025, Idaho passed House Bill 96, which limited the flags that state and local governments (cities, counties, schools, etc.) could display on government property.
It generally restricted flying to the U.S. flag, the Idaho state flag, and a narrow list of approved flags (such as POW/MIA flags, official military flags, or certain historical flags).
Following efforts by some cities, like Boise, to attempt workarounds, HB 561 was introduced as a follow-up “cleanup” bill to close those loopholes and add real penalties.
On March 31, 2026. Idaho Republican Gov. Brad Little (R) ended efforts to play games with the language by signing House Bill 561 into law.
HB 561:
- Expands the definition of “governmental entity” and “government property” to include not just buildings but also adjoining land, parks, roads, boulevards, etc.
- Limits local flags: Cities and counties can only fly their own “official” flags if those were formally designated before January 1, 2023.
- Adds enforcement teeth: Imposes a civil penalty of $2,000 per day, per offending flag.
- Gives the Idaho Attorney General (Raúl Labrador) the authority to enforce the law, including issuing warnings and filing lawsuits.
- Requires a 10-day “cure” period (warning) before fines kick in.
- Removes or tightens some previous exceptions for other flags.
- Includes some carve-outs added during the legislative process (e.g., allowances for certain historic international/cross-border flags or the Basque flag in specific contexts).
KTVB reports that the new rules have forced Boise to back down.
“Today, Governor Little signed HB 561 into law—a bill written with one purpose in mind: to prevent Boise from expressing our values by flying our official Pride flag, something we have done with the support of our community for more than a decade,” she wrote.
The mayor explained that the financial penalties would fall on taxpayers, which led the city to remove the flags from city property. According to the new law, a governmental entity that does not comply with the law will be asked to pay $2,000 per flag for each day the flag is displayed.
“Because the law includes a substantial penalty – one that would ultimately fall on the taxpayers of Boise to shoulder—I decided to take down the city’s official Pride flag,” McLean stated. “But let me be clear: Boise’s values have not changed, and they are not defined by any single action taken at the Statehouse.”
Governor Little signed the bill privately on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at 11:44 a.m. Shortly after (around noon), the City of Boise removed the Pride flag from City Hall.
A video was shared of the flag removal while a subdued crowd gathered, like it was a solemn changing of the guard at Arlington, while crooning a self-soothing pride ballad.

Senator Tom Cotton Blasts Democrats for Not Funding DHS – (VIDEO)


Senator Tom Cotton was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the funding of DHS.
Senator Cotton blasted the Democrat party and its leadership for their radicalized ideology to continue preventing the funding of DHS.
“What do you think of the President’s call for getting rid of the filibuster?” Bream asked.
“The President is right that the Democrats have become crazy on this issue,” Cotton said.
“The reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and Border Patrol,” Cotton said.
“We prefunded ICE and Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw just how radicalized Democrats have become,” Cotton continued.
“What you have seen over the last week is Chuck Schumer continually move the goal post. He makes a deal and then he retreats from that deal,” Cotton explained.
Senator Cotton explained the intention of the Democrats, who have been radicalized. He said their goal of unmasking agents is so they can terrorize ICE agents and their families.
“Democrats insist that we write a new law that ICE officers can’t wear masks. The reason why ICE officers wear masks is because radical left-wing Democrats will dox them, and then their street militias will terrorize their wives and their kids at their houses,” Cotton explained.
“That’s why the Democrats are inflicting long TSA lines on the American people,” Cotton continued.
The Senator defended President Trump’s common-sense policies of prioritizing the safety of the American people from the disaster Joe Biden invited in during the previous four years.
“What the President is trying to do from the beginning is to protect the country from the wave of illegal immigration that Joe Biden invited into America that has brought depraved, savage gang members and drug traffickers into our country,” Cotton said.
“Now, the President on Friday made the decision that he’s gonna fund TSA using monies that have been appropriated for other purposes, but for which Congress gave him discretion to use,” Cotton explained.

INSANE! No Kings Protester Graffitis “KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT” on Federal Building in Los Angeles as Rioters Clashed with Federal Agents and Threw Concrete Blocks – 75 Arrested (VIDEO)

No Kings Protester spray paints Federal Building in Los Angeles with “KILL YOUR LOCAL ICE AGENT” graffiti
These are the so-called “peaceful demonstrators” that the Democratic Party claims are innocently making their voices heard.
A No Kings protester in Los Angeles was filmed vandalizing a federal building with a message calling for violence against ICE agents.
WATCH:
And rioters actually used deadly weapons, including concrete blocks, against agents and officers.
At least two people were reportedly arrested for assaulting federal officers, and two officers were injured by concrete chunks that were lobbed at them, according to federal officials. At least 75 arrests were made in total.
Videos from the riot show rioters breaking concrete blocks to be used as weapons and taunting agents on the other side of a security fence.
The Los Angeles police department deployed tear gas to disperse rioters as they were assaulted. At least one man was tackled by multiple officers as they attempted to fend off the violent mob.
Via ABC 7:
First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli issued a notice to the rioters on X, writing, “My office has authorized immediate arrests for anyone assaulting law enforcement. You will be arrested and charged with a federal felony.”
He later posted a photo of a suspect, writing,
Federal agents have started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse. To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video. We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned.

More from My News LA:
The Los Angeles Police Department’s incident commander declared a citywide tactical alert around 5:10 p.m. Saturday after a group of demonstrators started kicking a fence in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center at Alameda and Temple streets. Demonstrators were ordered to leave the area.
“Protestors on Alameda between Aliso and Temple have been warned multiple times by Federal Authorities to not attempt to tear down the gate and not throw items,” a post on an LAPD social media account said.
The downtown No Kings Day rally at Gloria Molina Grand Park across from City Hall began around 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by a march at 3 p.m., part of a nationwide day of protests against the Trump administration.
The protest was peaceful until the late afternoon.
