The Hotshot Wake

NEW: A massive manhunt is underway in Meridian, Idaho, after a suspect stole an ambulance and rammed it into a medical building housing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offices late Wednesday night, February 18, 2026. Authorities are describing the incident as a calculated and violent criminal act targeted at federal agents.

The Attack Timeline 🛡️⚖️

Around 11:10 p.m., a suspect stole a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance from the bay at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center.

The suspect drove the vehicle to a nearby area to retrieve gasoline cans that had been hidden in vegetation earlier.

The suspect rammed the ambulance directly into the North Portico building, shattering the glass entrance.

Investigators believe the suspect poured an accelerant inside and around the ambulance but was scared off by responding agencies before they could ignite the fire.

"Property Damage IS Violence" 🚔🏛️

Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea issued a stern rebuke to social media rhetoric suggesting the attack was non-violent:

“Comments on social media such as ‘property damage isn't violence’ is absolutely false. This was absolutely an act of violence”.

The Chief emphasized that if the suspect hadn't been interrupted, the building would have burned, putting the lives of first responders and other tenants—including a hospice and a health insurance company—at extreme risk.

St. Luke’s has recently faced intense criticism for leasing office space to the DHS as the administration carries out a national immigration enforcement crackdown.

The Ongoing Investigation 📉🏛️

As of Thursday afternoon, the suspect has not been apprehended.

The investigation is a massive joint effort between the Meridian Police, Ada County Sheriff, FBI, DHS, and Idaho State Police.

Beyond the attack, officials noted the loss of the ambulance temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the Treasure Valley.

This is when… Congresswoman Luna said UAP’s Could Be, Interdimensional Beings and Cited Books of the Bible that have been Removed

She says these “energy things” challenge the deeper aspects of history and religion…

“You have the modern-day Bible, you have this aspect of books in the Bible that have been removed that explain and touch on these topics.”
