If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

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

No offense to Senator Coons (who I like) but I saw this from several Senators today ... republicans are not your friends and they sure as hell aren't loyal to the Constitution or America. Stop using this weak language.

VP Harris may not have been the perfect candidate, but she was a good candidate, and she was a million times better than these scumbags that are now in charge of the U.S. government. Make that infinite times better....

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed President Trump’s senseless clawbacks of funding already approved by Congress for public broadcasting and foreign aid. These cuts will strip funding for principled, local journalism and our national security interests.

They never tried to deescalate the situation. Everything they did TO Senator Padilla. This was unacceptable by the security. They should be arrested for abuse.

We know that the GOP is abdicating their Constitutional oversight authority because they're afraid of Donald Trump, and the reaction Senator Padilla received today makes clear that it's not just mean tweets the GOP is scared of.

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

My six hour flight to San Francisco just landed and a lot of people are just learning about the assault of Senator Padilla and outrage is murmuring through the cabin… “That’s scary! what is happening?!?” One woman near me said. The guy next to her informed of the No Kings protests.

How can an energy secretary be this dumb? All power sources rely on external conditions. Coal is delivered on trains, gas via pipelines, solar via sunlight. Google "unforced outages" you ignoramus.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

I had not watched the video of Padilla’s question until now and I guess I assumed that maybe he was a little angry and shouted or something? But he just asked? Using her title and a voice loud enough to be heard from where he was standing?
