DHS handcuffing Senator Padilla & forcing him to the ground after he had already clearly identified himself is outrageous. This is more than misconduct—it’s systemic abuse of power, aimed at a Latino senator. The Trump admin is shredding public trust. And when trust breaks, everyone is less safe.

The sequence is chilling. Noem states her intent to use federal forces to "liberate" the city from its elected representatives. Senator Padilla seeks to ask a question. Plain clothes goons force Padilla out of the room where FBI agents throw him to the ground and handcuff him.

This country cannot this kind of behavior to stand unquestioned! They just escalate what they are doing . The whole Trump administration thinks they have been given free sway to do whatever they want.

1) A SENATOR. Not a journalist or activist. A SENATOR. That makes 3 people of color, with Rep McIver and Mayor Baraka, with high level positions, that was shown no respect because of the color of the skin or the color of the blue state they represent, a combination of both, but probably the

2) former. I am black. I'm an expert in it. If I had spent over 60 years in any field, I would be considered an expert. So listen up. This is not by coincidence. These are racists. Racists Be Racin. Don't expect any better of them. The amount of instances are too numerous to list. Since Obama.

California has 2 Senators who have legal authority over Noam, and she is their state, and Senator Padilla's office in that building; For Noam NOT to know who he is when in his state shows either her total incompetence, or she is a flat out liar who ran for cover on Fox.

I'm in the UK and presume that every news channel and newspaper is shouting out from the rooftops about this. If not, why not? Why are the Democrats sitting quietly in the corner and ignoring the destruction of your freedom and your country? I'm baffled!

I’m just getting home and seeing this. Meanwhile my two senators from NC tagged along on Air Force One Tuesday to Fort Bragg for that Trump rally with soldiers in uniform clearly displaying their partisanship. I will be amazed if Sen Budd or Tillis speaks out in support of their colleague.

And, of course, Noem is lying to the press, telling them be didn’t identify himself. You can bet that’s probably all Fox will report. Rump’s scathing attack of Padilla due in 3, 2, 1 . . .

Fox let her go on and on with lie after lie. She got there immediately after the event so viewers heard her side of it first. And she wore lot of make-up & one of her little costumes.

Speaker Johnson calls for Senate to censure Padilla saying his question was "wildly inappropriate behavior." Noem lied that Padilla did not identify himself. Censor the Republicans that spoke out during Biden & Obama's State of the Union Speeches would be a good start for the Republican hypocrites!!
