Senator Patty Murray of Washington state has publicly condemned actions by the Trump administration following allegations that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) canine unit inflicted “horrific” injuries on a constituent, Wilmer Toledo-Martinez, during an arrest in November. Murray asserts Toledo-Martinez was not resisting or attempting to evade agents when the dog attacked.
The incident raises renewed scrutiny of ICE’s use of canine units during detentions and potential violations of due process. Toledo-Martinez reportedly sustained severe wounds requiring medical attention, prompting Murray to demand accountability from the Trump administration and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. The case underscores ongoing concerns regarding ICE tactics and their impact on individuals encountered during enforcement actions, especially as the agency continues to operate under policies enacted during the Trump presidency.
