King, a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient, suffered severe injuries, including a wrist requiring surgery, and experienced a reactivation of her post-traumatic stress disorder following the incident. A federal tort claim seeking $3 million in damages has been filed against the Idaho National Guard, alleging "needlessly rough treatment" and questioning the legality of her detention. Footage shows three Idaho National Guard members cornering King on her porch, pushing her to the ground and handcuffing her, despite her protests that they had no authority to detain her. King's lawyers suggest she was targeted for her outspoken criticism of the National Guard's presence in D.C., refuting the Guard's claim that she was a suspect in an earlier assault.
