ICE Is Using Attack Dogs
Senator Patty Murray tells the story of her constituent Wilmer Toledo-Martinez who was mauled by an ICE attack dog. ICE lured him out of his house by telling him a lie (all cops lie!), then another ICE agent released the attack dog on him once he exited his home. ICE then delayed his medical care for hours. He required stitches, antibiotics, and another medication. They never provided him with the other medication he was prescribed. There are photos of his injuries. He's currently being held at the Northwest ICE processing center.
Toledo-Martinez was brought to the US at age 15 and is undocumented, but he was not resisting arrest or attempting to flee when the ICE dog attacked him. He was detained in front of his wife and two young children, who are all US citizens.
It doesn't surprise me, but this is the first time I've heard of them using attack dogs. They are trying to instill fear into our communities and their repeated acts of violence are achieving that goal. ICE and CBP agents are essentially domestic terrorists with a badge. 🤬
