In a recent interview with ‘The Story,’ San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow criticized the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration enforcement tactics, highlighting the challenges these operations pose for local jurisdictions. Dow raised concerns about the recent ICE roundups and deportations, calling for greater oversight and a more compassionate policy framework that balances national security with the rights of individuals. The DA’s comments come amid increasing calls for reform within the U.S. immigration system, as local officials grapple with the human and logistical fallout from federal enforcement actions.
