When Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was forcibly eliminated and tackled throughout Homeland Safety Secretary Kristi Noem’s press convention in Los Angeles on Thursday, Democrats throughout the nation instantly got here to his protection. 


Sen. Alex Padilla is pushed out of Homeland Safety Secretary Kristi Noem’s information convention on June 12.

As a result of, for them, they know that this was way more than only a matter of an unruly politician being escorted out of a room. 

“It’s disgusting. Reeks of totalitarianism. Un-American. Not what democracies do,” Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer wrote on X.

Padilla confirmed as much as Noem’s press convention to ask in regards to the ongoing army invasion of Los Angeles. And regardless of figuring out himself as a senator, Padilla was pressured out of the room earlier than he might end asking his query, pushed to the ground, and handcuffed. 

“I used to be there peacefully,” he advised reporters, highlighting that, if that is how a senator is handled, it is a regarding signal of how common People might be handled.

“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 farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country,” Padilla stated.

The DHS, in the meantime, tried to disclaim duty for the mistreatment of Padilla by claiming that he by no means recognized himself. Even Home Speaker Mike Johnson went so far as to say that Padilla, whose each transfer was caught on digicam, rushed the stage. 

Unhappy with these lies, Democrats marched to Senate Majority Chief John Thune’s workplace to demand solutions.

“The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy,” Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland wrote on BlueSky. “I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.”

And whereas Republicans conceal behind flimsy excuses, Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell of California took to Capitol Hill to demand Noem’s resignation. 

“Kristi Noem should resign. She has deported a 4 12 months previous with most cancers, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s misplaced the arrogance of the American folks. ICE should cease terrorizing our communities,” he wrote on BlueSky.

Together with the submit, Swalwell included a video of himself alongside different politicians, together with former Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi, through which he compares masked ICE brokers to “Russian KGB agents.”
