Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

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.

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.”

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

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.

Resign now, Kristi Noem.

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.

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

clip from the AP live stream of Padilla's remarks... "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers... We will hold this administration accountable."

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

Trump said he would invoke the Insurrection Act if he determined there was an insurrection under way in LA. This a map of Los Angeles County. The protests are all within this little red circle, and so calm the military just standing around. The only insurrection is Trump.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)
