A Republican state senator in Idaho said her family’s livelihood is on the line after a united effort from major dairies in the state to cut off business with her husband over her stance on illegal immigration.  Senator Glenneda Zuiderveld said multiple dairies are refusing to work with her husband Tom because of her politics, adding that they have lost 85% of their income in the past month. While the state’s dairy industry says Zuiderveld is “anti-ag,” she believes that she is being targeted because of her support for tough-on-illegal immigration policies like those that mandate employers verify the legal status of workers. “I’m about trying to protect our state from illegal immigration, but they’re always trying to protect their workforce,” she told The Daily Wire. “They’re basically working with other dairies that will probably be withdrawing from us. So they’re colluding together. So that’s not free market. That’s intimidation.”  The incident shows how even in red states, Republicans can split over agricultural and immigration enforcement interests. In this case, it appears to be large dairies against Zuiderveld, a member of Idaho’s firebrand Freedom Caucus. A letter from Zuiderveld’s employer obtained by The Daily Wire shows that multiple dairies, including Millenkamp Cattle, Black Pine Cattle, and Cedar Ridge Dairy requested last month “to no longer work with” her husband.  “We have been informed that these customers have aligned with others in a coordinated effort to no longer direct business through you,” the letter said. “The concerns raised are tied to your wife’s political role and are not related to the level of service you have provided. While not making judgements on these factors, they are impacting these customers’ willingness to continue doing business with us.” The letter added that one dairy even demanded that Tom be fired from the company, which the Zuidervelds have chosen to keep anonymous.  “One customer indicated they would consider moving their business away from [redacted] if we did not terminate you. While termination is not something we are considering, it does underscore the seriousness of the situation,” the letter said.  The Daily Wire reached out to Millenkamp Cattle and Black Pine Cattle for comment, which falls under the same ownership. An employee for Cedar Ridge Dairy who answered a phone call said he was not authorized to talk to the press and hung up.  “Our business has always been in the dairy industry,” Zuiderveld told The Daily Wire. “They’ve always known what our politics are, but just recently they wrote a letter saying that they didn’t like my politics, and that they wanted our company basically to fire my husband, which they didn’t do because we’re independent sales reps.” Zuiderveld said that her Senate district, which encompasses the Magic Valley heavy agricultural area of south central Idaho, has more dairies than any other district. A fourth dairy, Riverbend Dairy, stopped doing business with them on Monday, Zuiderveld said. The Daily Wire reached out to a phone number listed for the dairy, but did not hear back.  While the dairies did not respond to requests for comment, Rick Naerebout, the CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, chalked up the issue to “free-market capitalism” in an interview with The Idaho Statesman.  He accused the Zuidervelds of being “anti-ag” and claimed that “not all Idaho Republicans are created equal.” He pointed to Zuiderveld’s opposition to $30 million in taxpayer dollars for water infrastructure and vote over funding to target an invasive mussel.  Zuiderveld said that those issues were just a distraction from the issues of illegal immigration. She said that she opposed the water funding because there was not significant accountability for the dollars and said she was skeptical of the environmental claims about the mussel.  “They’re trying to distract,” she told The Daily Wire. “The main reason is the illegal immigration issue — 90% of their workforce is what they call foreign-born, and I would have to say, probably 70% if not more of it is illegal.”
