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!

It happened after Kristie Noem said:

The Department of Homeland Security, and the agencies, the departments and the military people that are working on this operation will continue to sustain and increase our operations in this city. We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governer and this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.

- Kristie Noem, 12th of june 2025, L.A. California

These guys were elected officials... but I guess if you elect the wrong people, according to the new regime, your place in the world will be occupied by the force of the federal state, wielded by "small governement patriots". What a joke.
