U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California was physically assaulted
6/12/25 - Senator Padilla forced to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from a Department of Homeland Security press conference by the Trump administration in Los Angeles.
It happened after Padilla identified himself and tried to ask Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a question during the event, which was in response to the ongoing ICE raids and militarization against protesters in LA this past week.
This is not supposed to happen in the United States. This is fascism on full display.
If this is how the administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, what are they willing to do to civilians? Senator Padilla said it himself: If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.
Trump and his far-right goons have already sicced ICE and their Gestapo tactics on immigrant communities across the country to carry out their mass deportation agenda.
Sat. June 14 join the No King's Demonstration in your area. There will be 1,500 demonstrations around the country. Trump must be removed from office, arrested, and tried for treason and other charges. THIS CAN'T WAIT!

@Pisciatto1 You can't even tell us what alleged law the Senator broke??
We know what law tRump broke. U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer had said the president acted illegally in dispatching the troops.
Breyer found that Trump failed to follow the required process under Title 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which mandates that activation orders be issued “through the governors.” Instead, Breyer wrote, Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “circumvented the Governor (and thus, the procedure mandated by statute) from the outset.”
tRump also violated the Tenth Amendment, according to this judge.
So tell us, please, @Pisciatto1, what law did Senator Alex Padilla allegedly violate while attempting to uphold the Tenth Amendment?
