One of the quiet tragedies of immigration raids rarely makes the news: the animals left behind. I recently heard of a dog discovered trapped inside a vehicle scheduled to be demolished — abandoned after an ICE raid. Across the country, dogs, cats, and other animals are left locked in homes, cars, and yards when people are taken without warning. ICE has no apparent requirement to ensure animals are safe: no call to animal control, no notice to neighbors, no pause for basic humanity. When families disappear, pets suffer in silence until neighbors hear barking, smell death, or find animals wandering in panic.
