BREAKING NEWS, John:
Democratic U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California was just physically
assaulted, forced to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from a Department
of Homeland Security press conference by the Trump administration in Los
Angeles.

conference by security.
It happened after Padilla identified himself and tried to ask Secretary of
Homeland Security Kristi Noem a question during the event, which was in
response to the ongoing ICE raids and militarization against protesters in
LA this past week.
This is not supposed to happen in the United States,
John. This is fascism on full display.
If this is how the administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, what are
they willing to do to civilians? Senator Padilla said it himself: If this
is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can
only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers
throughout the country.
Trump and his far-right goons have already sicced ICE and their Gestapo
tactics on immigrant communities across the country to carry out their
mass deportation agenda.
Then, they called in the National Guard and Marines to repress protesters
against a Democratic Governor’s wishes.
Now, they manhandled and handcuffed a sitting Democratic Senator for
demanding answers from the Homeland Security Secretary—his literal job.

his administration, and we cannot let them get away with it. Rush
$5 or whatever you can to help us and our members of
Congress fight Trump’s fascism now!
