An Idaho bar owner is facing a barrage of vile death threats from triggered liberals after launching a viral promotion that rewards patriots for assisting ICE in deporting illegal aliens.
Mark Fitzpatrick, proprietor of the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, is unapologetically incentivizing citizens to report border-jumpers in exchange for free beer – a move that’s exposed the left’s hatred for secure borders in stark relief.
The firestorm ignited when the Old State Saloon announced its promotion on X last month. In a post that’s racked up over 8 million views, the bar declared: “ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!”

The Department of Homeland Security even shared the post, welcoming the grassroots support for enforcing the law.

Building on the momentum, the saloon followed up with another cheeky announcement: “Merry Snitchmas! Snitch on illegals and get a month of free beer!” complete with a link to more details.

Fitzpatrick didn’t stop there, tying the effort to Christian values in a Sunday post: “Jesus Christ is King! Happy Sunday! Support ICE!”

The backlash was swift and savage, revealing the left’s intolerance for anyone daring to challenge their open-borders utopia.
Wise words from the LEFT!

A tale of two letters!

The $200 check was from “An old Army guy – Patriotic Contribution”
The other letter was from a libtard from Seattle. pic.twitter.com/OjWt1ljSse

Fitzpatrick told Fox News Digital that liberals “attack you. They go on attack, and they start calling you names.” The threats escalated quickly: “People are just outright saying I should die for this. It’s really, really despicable.” Voicemails and messages poured in, threatening his family and vowing to burn down the saloon – all because he dared to support Trump’s deportation promises.
The bar’s website laid it out plainly: “The Left is doing everything they can to attack Old State Saloon and disrupt our business. Many are calling for arson and the burning down of our building. We really appreciate your help with the extra security and legal bills, and now a highly coincidental notification of a sales tax audit from the Idaho Tax Commission. See our GiveSendGo to help. God Bless America. Deport them all!”
Far from backing down, Fitzpatrick sees the hate as fuel. The negativity only makes him want to double down. He views the attacks as self-revealing, noting “The way I look at it is they’re kind of disclosing like their wickedness right to us in public and showing us who they are.”
The saloon has a history of pushing back against woke nonsense. Earlier this year, they celebrated “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” during Pride Month, and now they’re rolling out themed days to bolster ICE support: “Manly American Monday” offers free beer to men backing deportations, Tuesdays reward ladies for “tattling” on illegals, and Wednesdays give heterosexual couples 10% off.
Fitzpatrick emphasized the saloon’s commitment to truth: “At Old State Saloon, we really aren’t strangers to speaking out boldly about conservative Christian values and truth and putting the truth out there.” He even extended an olive branch to critics: “If any of those liberals actually came in and were willing to talk, they’d be met by someone who would sit down with them and talk and listen to what they have to say.”
Amid the venom, support has surged. Patrons flock to the bar for encouragement: “At my saloon when I’m there after a long day of dealing with just wickedness and all the calls and everything else, people are there, and they’re there just to come in and meet me and support me and encourage me,” Fitzpatrick notes.
He believes it’s sparking vital dialogue, urging “I think the way it’s working is it’s drawing attention to the issue, and conversations are happening.”
The promotion has already yielded results. One Idaho man earned his free beer by reporting a state rep for hiring illegals on her farm. The saloon amplified the call, “DEPORT. THEM. ALL.”
Expanding the effort, the bar offered a $1000 gift card for tips leading to the deportation of a boastful illegal in Boise: “Hey Boise, this guy says he’s illegal and taunts: ‘Come get me!’ OFFER: $1000 gift card to Old State Saloon for information leading to the deportation of this guy. Contact ICE.”
They even proposed incentives for self-deportation: “Self Deport! — Free meal (including a beer) for any Idaho illegal who self deports. Enjoy a healthy meal while ICE respond to pick you up and take you home.”

The Saloon has also revealed, “We are now not allowed to post anything on Facebook or Instagram… because we mentioned ‘beer’. Meanwhile, we are getting spammed with threats, slander, and plenty of gay porn on those platforms from the very disgusting Left.”

“I guess you aren’t allowed to say that you are giving away beer. No offers for alcohol,” the Saloon added.
And now Facebook is suddenly erasing our posts from months ago. pic.twitter.com/Hh9lmFnGOC
