Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!
