Toledo-Martinez answered a knock at his door to find a federal immigration agent posing as a construction worker, who claimed to have hit his car.
He went outside and another agent released the dog, which bit him repeatedly. Now Patty Murray calls for his release.

Everybody pay attention. This one is local! This is unforgivable! ICE agents need to be held accountable for excessive force, for the physical harm, and property damage damages they do! Two choices -time for the 25th or impeachment!
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
