Woman Arrested in Latest Attack on ICE, Police Say She Crashed a Gas-Loaded Stolen Ambulance Into an Office
An Idaho woman is facing charges after an ambulance was stolen in Meridian, Idaho, last week and then used in an attempt to set fire to a federal building that has been linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities.
Sarah Elizabeth George, 43, of Meridian, was arrested Monday by Meridian police, along with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to KBOI-TV in Boise.
George is charged in Thursday’s attack with attempted destruction of federal property by fire, a felony, and malicious destruction of property used in or affecting interstate commerce by fire, according to KIVI-TV in Nampa, Idaho.
The charges carry sentences of between five and 20 years in prison.
According to the probable cause affidavit, on Feb.18, a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance was taken from St. Luke’s Hospital, according to KTVB-TV in Boise.
The affidavit said that video from inside the ambulance showed the suspect parking the ambulance in a lot where two gas cans appeared to have been placed earlier, and then loading the cans into the ambulance.
The ambulance was later driven through the doors and into the lobby of the Portico North building in Meridian.
The building contains offices leased by the Department of Homeland Security and was identified in a Feb. 10 report in the liberal website Wired as one of many sites across the country being used for ICE expansion.

Investigators went to a Walmart where items used in the incident were bought and learned that a loyalty card in the suspect’s name was used for the purchase, according to KIVI.
Investigators also found that on the day of the incident, a social media post from the suspect showed an AI-generated video of the White House ablaze captioned, “If it can be destroyed by truth then it should be destroyed; it was built in lies anyways.”
