@msnbc: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks out after being forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles. Padilla said he was handcuffed by law enforcement officers, but not arrested or detained. "If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, 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 out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country." In a statement posted to social media, DHS said “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.” #alexpadilla #kristinoem #losangeles #dhs #politics #news

If a senator could be treated this way, nobody is safe.

I would say getting handcuffed IS being detained.

he was scheduled for a briefing after the press conference in a seperate room where he could ask all the questions he wanted. but no, he chose to barge into the press conference make a scene for the press and he was successful. he even got a bonus, he was cuffed and stuffed.

This is precisely why I’m going on the No Kings march on Saturday. What’s happening is not okay, is hasn’t been okay!! Immigrants aren’t criminals.. Senator Padilla is not a criminal… but our “president” sure is!!!

He’s so right! If this can happen to a sitting Senator IN HIS OWN STATE, then we can only imagine what can happen to someone else

What we are witnessing is not only an attack on immigrants — it’s an attack on democracy itself. Senator Padilla represents millions of Californians, and detaining him for standing up for his constituents is a dangerous abuse of power. If elected officials can be silenced or restrained for defending the people, what message does that send to the rest of us? This is not law and order — this is political intimidation. We must raise our voices against injustice, no matter where it happens or who it targets.

A sitting senator got handcuffed just for asking a question Kristi Noem couldn’t handle. This isn’t leadership-it’s cowardice wielding police power to bully and silence dissent. That’s pure, pathetic tyranny. They will weaponize the police for people that don’t agree with them or ask questions they don’t like…
