If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

This is extremely disturbing. @padilla.senate.gov was violently removed from a public briefing for asking questions on behalf of the people he represents. Every day that goes by, Donald Trump is making our nation look more and more like a fascist state.

A US Senator. Donald Trump’s America.

Blatant lies from official government feeds. Do they not know we all see the video?

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

I can't think of a better metaphor of the violent manhandling of democracy by the current regime than its decision to remove BY FORCE a United States senator from press briefing about matters important to the state he represents. Jesus Christ.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Sen. Alex Padilla just got forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s presser—for daring to ask real questions? Outrageous. This is what GOP “freedom” looks like: silencing truth. Padilla showed guts. Noem showed cowardice. I'm pissed? Are you?

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.”
