I called both of my US senators to condemn what happened to Senator Padilla and to say that as their constituent, I expect them to defend the office of the Senate, to defend their fellow Senator and to remember that we are not a country that bows to a king. Here’s the number: 202-224-3121

"The Trump administration's eagerness to deploy the military in an American city is a major warning sign for our democracy," Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul said. "This is not normal, and it must not become normalized. The judiciary should stop this."

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

So they mean to tell us that Kristi Noem, the US Secretary of Homeland Security, has no idea who Senator Padilla, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety is? Like seriously??

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Weird how Kristi Noem didn’t recognize Sen. Padilla?! It was just 4 months ago he publicly opposed her. Oh ya…and all this! Committee on the Judiciary • Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism • Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety (Chairman)

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...
