On January 16, 2026, Dow shared information regarding an arrest in New Mexico. She stated, “New Mexico Arrest! The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued an alert that ICE has arrested of Mahmoud Telfah, a criminal illegal alien from Jordan, convicted for child solicitation by electronic communication device and meets with a child, and attempt to commit”.
