Vincent Scardina, who runs a small Florida roofing business, supported Trump’s tough stance on immigration — until ICE detained six of his workers and sent them to jail for deportation. “It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends — not just an employer but a friend.”

The officers who handcuffed Padilla need to be hauled in before Congress, made an example of, fired and arrested on live national television. They violated an American’s Constitutional rights and they assaulted a United States Senator.

Sen Padilla identified himself while he was doing the job his constituents elected him to do. In response, this administration disrespected him, threw him to the ground, and cuffed him. They did this to a sitting U.S. senator. What makes you think they are not going to do that to the rest of us???

It's true. You can't claim that immigrants are illegal and arrest them from their work place and then not arrest the owner of the company for hiring the "Illegal immigrants" #USDemocracy

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

ABC News is reporting that there are now more US troops in Los Angeles (4,800) than in Syria (1,500) or Iraq (2,500). Actually, there are more troops in LA than Iraq and Syria COMBINED.

Seems like every GOP & DEM politician is afraid to even talk back to Netanyahu, as if he is their boss. There's 341 million Americans, or so, & we're aware that none of us voted for him. We don't want another war in the Middle East. We live on the other side of the Earth & have better priorities.

MSNBC is run by idiots!!! Senator Padilla gave comments but as soon as he repeated them in Spanish. They cut away! Total idiots. They don’t care about those people who have English as a second language!! No wonder you are losing viewers! MSNBC is full of Shit along with the rest of them!

HAPPENING NOW: Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil ask the judge overseeing his case to explicitly order his release from immigration detention. The judge's order was ambiguous on this, and the administration has not made clear whether it will, in fact, release him at 9:30 (CT) today.

Trump pulled out of the Iran deal which was working perfectly (verified by the IAEA over a dozen times), for no reason other than to spite Obama and do the opposite of him. This is all 100% on him. Anybody who pretends that's not true is just factually wrong or lying.

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's almost as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

"I think at minimum there's needs to be an investigation into how they treated Alex Padilla." Senator Adam Schiff has already called for Kristi Noem's resignation, and remains focused on accountability for the rough handling of Senator Padilla.

I'm just gonna say it, I don't think non-senators should get shoved and tackled for demanding answers from their government either! Like I think whether he identified himself as a senator or not is sort of beside the point!

We are NOW at the point, that Trump has to make his “move” to totally control the country, OR he’ll back down. We are at the “tipping point”. Everyone that loves FREEDOM, must continue to RESIST. ✌️💙🦋
