Padilla: If this is how DHS 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.

Thank goodness he isn’t hurt because that was rough

Definitely shows the disregard for any and all order. No respect, no empathy, no rights. What’s next?
A few key points:
- Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety
- He identified himself as a Senator
- Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership
Padilla's office issues new statement on Kristi Noem's goons manhandling him:

"He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed."

If you’re in a position like this then there is no way you don’t know he is a senator. Plus he is literally trying to tell you and you are ignoring him. Ridiculous
MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla.

Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

This is absolutely ridiculous. What happened to our Amendments? Constitution? Rights? Our children have to grow up in this. Pathetic
