Rebecca De Leon, communications director for the Community Council of Idaho, hands out free Thanksgiving turkeys at the council’s Head Start location in Caldwell. ";

The Community Council of Idaho is the oldest nonprofit serving Latinos in the state. One of its programs is Head Start, transporting children ages 5 and younger from their homes to daycare. Recently, a bus driver with the program in Caldwell reported a threatening incident with a driver in a nearby car. This was around the same time of a mass shooting that targeted Latinos in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas on Aug. 3. We check in with Nicole Foy of the Idaho Statesman, who has been following the story.
