A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.

But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

This is the term we must use now, yes.

If they can do this to a US senator, what will they do to you?

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.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

"DHS falsely accused Padilla of failing to identify himself. (He can be heard in videos that have circulated on social media doing just that.)"

UPDATE: Cops are continuing to be brought in to stop Starbucks workers and allies demanding the company settle fair contracts with workers.

Now, those participating in actions in Chicago are being arrested and led away by police. Shame on Starbucks!

NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE! #ToBeAPartner

The Senate is moving forward on HR28 / S9, threatening to defund schools unless they segregate trans students and subject women and girls to invasive genital and sex exams for athletics programs. Protect students, save Title IX!

"Trump last week issued an [EO] to begin the process of withdrawing the U.S. from WHO, but that did not take immediate effect. Leaving WHO requires the approval of Congress and that the U.S. meets its financial obligations for the current fiscal year. The U.S. also must provide a one-year notice."

NEW—CDC officially ordered by Trump WH to cease working with the @WHO, effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a dark day for America and the world.
