" Feb 26, 2025
Teresa Borrenpohl was removed from her seat by a private security company, Lear Asset Management, who dragged her out of the auditorium and tried to tie her hands with zip ties, while the Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris recorded the incident, encouraging her removal."

(See /5 above):

"The unmarked security force [who dragged Teresa Borrenpohl out of a Republican town hall in Idaho] were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management, the [Post Falls] Press reported, but Sheriff Norris 'claimed no knowledge of the security personnel or who hired them.' LEAR did not respond to a request for comment for this piece."

Because she spoke up and spoke out and this was not tolerated.
