Immigrants are what make our state great and they are what make this country great.

This bitch lies.
"“This man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice and was stopped, did not identify himself and was removed from the room,” Noem said. “So as soon as he identified himself, appropriate actions were taken.”
Kristi Noem Defends Agents Shoving Senator Alex Padilla
Noem blamed Sen. Padilla for the stunning confrontation in which he was forcibly ejected by Secret Service and FBI personnel from her press conference.

Sherrill: "You're blowing money on poorly conceived operations and vanity projects...Retrofitting the Qatari jet to serve as Air Force One costs about $400 million. The parade in D.C. will cost $40 million. Your campaign in Yemen cost about a $1 billion. Operations in LA will cost tens of millions."

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."

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."

Thank goodness he isn’t hurt because that was rough
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.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years.

ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again.

A 6th grader.
