“ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!” its post read:
When word of the deal spread online, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reacted with a gif of a dinosaur character dropping what appeared to be a beer can while it had a dumbfounded look on its face:
“If you’d like to claim your free beers, send a detailed email with any evidence, photos, videos, summary of events, dates, and times etc to: deportations@oldstatesalooon.com,” the saloon wrote in a reply to its initial post.
The establishment later shared screenshots of what appeared to be messages from people taking up the challenge:
In a subsequent post early Sunday, the saloon, which is owned by Mark Fitzpatrick, announced another beer giveaway.
“For the month of December it’s ‘Merry Snitchmas’ at Old State Saloon: Manly American Mondays — all American Citizen males who support ICE get one free beer! Ladies’ ‘I’m Telling’ Tuesdays — BOGO for American woman willing to tell ICE about any illegals, to get them deported. Wednesday: American heterosexual couples get 10% off their entire bill. Get married and make American babies, if at all possible!” the post read:

When it came to the beer giveaway, the saloon did not leave out people choosing to self-deport.
“Self Deportation Announcement: Any illegal who’d like to self deport may have one free beer before ICE responds to Old State Saloon to pick you up. Please make a reservation: 208-244-0648,” the establishment announced Sunday:
In October, Breitbart News reported that Trump’s DHS “has deported more than half a million illegal aliens from the United States since the president’s mass deportation program began in late January, agency officials reveal.”
