Wilmer Toledo-Martinez was hospitalized with gashes on his body after his attorney and witnesses say he was attacked by a DHS K-9 during an incident in Vancouver. Witnesses described the dog attack as sudden and aggressive, while legal counsel for Toledo-Martinez contends that the use of the dog was excessive. The incidents reportedly occurred while law enforcement officers were interacting with the man, who remains hospitalized for injuries described by his representatives as serious but non-fatal. Official statements from the Department of Homeland Security have not yet provided a detailed account of the events or the circumstances that led to the dog being deployed. The case has drawn scrutiny from local observers and advocates for detainee and civil liberties rights, who call for a transparent review of the incident and the DHS protocol governing canine deployments.
