Laura Gillen Votes to Protect Criminal Illegals Who Assault Police Dogs

March 19, 2026

Another day, another vote where Laura Gillen put illegal immigrants ahead of public safety, this time voting AGAINST a bill to punish violent criminal illegal immigrants who injure or kill federal working dogs.

These dogs track criminals, detect explosives, and protect law enforcement in the most dangerous situations. When they’re attacked, it’s while defending American lives. Yet Gillen chose to side with illegal immigrants who commit these violent acts instead of standing with law enforcement and the animals that protect them.

“Laura Gillen couldn’t even bring herself to punish illegal immigrants who attack law enforcement dogs. These animals put their lives on the line to protect Americans, and Gillen sided with the criminals who harm them. It’s indefensible.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
