PADILLA: "If this is how this admin responds to a senator with a question, if this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, cooks, day laborers in California and the rest of the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, reacting to Senator Padilla being handcuffed and forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference:
“I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

Sen. Luján on Sen. Padilla being manhandled and handcuffed at Noem’s press conference:
“This is nonsense…The executive branch is doing this to our colleagues…Will someone here have the backbone to tell the president of the United States, ‘You crossed the line.’”

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

We need immediate answers to what the hell went on.

This isn’t security. It’s authoritarian theater.
If they can silence a Senator, they can silence anyone.
