The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Idaho Freedom Foundation Wednesday that the suspect in the Boise Greenbelt assault and kidnapping case is an illegal alien from Mexico.
“Javier Ortiz-Galvan is an alien from Mexico charged with aggravated assault and second-degree kidnapping. He entered the United States illegally at an unknown date and time but was given a green card in 2022 under the Biden administration,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement.
“Possessing a green card is a privilege, not a right. Under our nation’s laws, our government has the authority to revoke a green card if our laws are broken and abused,” the statement continued.
DHS first confirmed his immigration status to Border Hawk News, according to an X post.
Ortiz was charged with aggravated assault and kidnapping in the second degree (not for ransom), according to Ada County Sheriff’s Office records. His name is spelled Javier Ortiz-Galvin, not Galvan, according to the sheriff’s office records. IFF reached out to DHS for confirmation on the spelling but has not heard back as of publication.
The female victim was walking by herself when the suspect allegedly came up from behind, physically assaulted her and yanked her off the path, police stated. Two uninvolved individuals heard the victim's screams and dialed 911.
When one of them intervened, the suspect allegedly fled the scene, but he was later arrested and identified as 26-year-old Javier Ortiz. He is reportedly from Ontario, Oregon, and is being held on a $1 million bond. He appeared in custody on Zoom with the help of an interpreter.
IFF reached out by phone to Boise Mayor Lauren McLean’s office and left a voicemail inquiring about what the mayor and city plans to do about illegal immigration. Boise police announced they will maintain increased patrols along the Greenbelt and nearby parks, according to their press release.
This is the second alleged assault in July on the Boise Greenbelt. A man allegedly stabbed to death a 25-year-old on July 6, and the suspect, Ross Wardlaw, was arrested July 9. He is reportedly homeless.
Perhaps the City of Boise should be less preoccupied with how inclusive its flag poles are and more concerned with the safety of its residents.
Notably, the Ada County Sheriff refused to enter into a 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Sheriff Matt Clifford defended the decision in a March press release. The program authorizes ICE to give state and local law enforcement officers the power to perform certain immigration officer functions under “ICE’s direction and oversight,” according to the agency.
I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die?
Because I do.
My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression.
You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced.
You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them.
You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line.
You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one.
You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you.
I have.
And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.
Never forget that the Democrats arrested a US President, his lawyers, his campaign manager, his accountants, his media allies, and his valet over fake, made up stuff.
Jack Smith MUST be held accountable or it will happen over and over again.
Lock him up.
26-year-old Javier Ortiz has been arrested for brutally assaulting a woman over the weekend in a random attack on the Boise River Greenbelt.
He just moved to Idaho to work construction, he can't speak English, and his immigration status is unknown at this time.
In 2025, Idaho passed a law banning homeless people from camping in public areas.
Boise's radical left mayor Lauren McLean refuses to follow that law.
Now, a 25-year-old man is dead after being stabbed by a homeless man in her city.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! In a stunning admission, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) announced that if the SAVE America Act becomes law — "It would be hard for ANY Democrat, in ANY state, to win ANY election."
President Trump was just PROVEN CORRECT
Democrats are aware of mass voter fraud at scale and ending non-citizen voting will force them to lose elections 🤯
Time is running low, mere WEEKS remain until it could not take effect for the 2026 midterms. Ram this through to stop the cheat!
Tina Peters is a Goldstar mom who was thrown in prison for exposing Democrat election fraud in Colorado.
It almost killed her.
Now that she’s a free woman, what does she do?
Immediately start fighting back and exposing more election fraud.
Tina peters is an American patriot.
🚨 BREAKING: DID RUSSIA JUST POISON LINDSEY GRAHAM?
This doesn’t add up. Not even close.
One day ago, Senator Graham was in Ukraine aggressively pushing a major new Russian sanctions bill — one he said the White House fully supports — to cripple Putin and end the war.
Now he’s suddenly DEAD from a “random illness”?
Russia sent a delegation to Khamenei’s funeral in Tehran where the IRGC was openly calling for the assassination of President Trump, Laura Loomer, AND Lindsey Graham.
A US Senator drops dead within 24 hours of hammering Russia?
This screams foul play.
We need a FULL independent investigation NOW. Autopsy. Toxicology. The American people deserve answers.
Did they just murder a sitting U.S. Senator on American soil?
RT if you want the truth. This cannot be swept under the rug. 🇺🇸
