Four Boise teenagers were arrested on Thursday and Friday on suspicion of felony rape of an 18-year-old woman earlier this month.
Swedi Iyombelo and Mulanga Rashidi, both 18, and Elias Lupango, 19, appeared in court via video conference after being booked into Ada County Jail. A 16-year-old boy was arrested Friday morning and is being held in juvenile detention.
Because the 16-year-old is a juvenile, his name has not been released.
Deputies arrested Iyombelo and Rashidi near a fast-food restaurant in Kuna on Thursday morning. They arrested Lupango on Thursday afternoon in east Boise.
Iyombelo, Rashidi and Lupango are each refugees from Tanzania, according to the public defender. It is unknown if the 16-year-old suspect is also a refugee. Iyombelo has been in the United States five months while the other two have been in the United States for three years and recently were employed at McDonald’s.

Boise was hit hard during Obama's presidency with refugees, as was Portland Maine. Boise and Portland had the distinction of being two of the whitest American cities. As was the case with Somali refugees being settled in Minnesota, the government and Volags seem to have a preference for dumping refugees into cities like Boise. We'll never know the identity of the 18 year girl who was gang raped, or how her life will be affected by this in the future. Since the government is largely responsible, they should have to pay for any psychological therapy or physical problems she may suffer with from the attack.
