➤➤➤ JUST HAPPENED: DHS removed Senator Alex Padilla from a press event — for doing his job [link removed] [[link removed]]Today in Los Angeles, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security press conference.
His crime? Asking questions.
Padilla was pressing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for answers on the ongoing immigration raids and National Guard deployments in California. Instead of responding, DHS had him escorted out of the event.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a disruption. This was an elected official representing millions of Californians — shut down and silenced at a public event.

If DHS can do this to a sitting U.S. Senator, imagine what they’re willing to do to the rest of us.
This is not normal. This is not democracy. And we cannot stay silent.
At DASS, we’re not just defending election integrity — we’re standing up for the rule of law, the voice of voters, and democratic norms. When power goes unchecked, we organize. And we fight back.
