If Kristi Noem’s brownshirts are so confident in their actions, why block Senator @padilla.senate.gov’s staffer from recording??

I won’t be even remotely surprised if they’re all masked up for the next one.

Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and detained by DHS thugs during Homeland Security Secretary Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles.

📌Exercising your constitutional rights is now a crime—and the next step when Trump’s authoritarian regime refuses to answer to our duly elected officials.

Charlie Sykes on Sen. Padilla incident: "The fact that they are embracing and celebrating this shocking episode tells you the direction that we're heading in... they are trying to desensitise us to these kinds of abuses."

This is the most straightforward thing they've said so far. They're using the military to "liberate" Los Angeles from its mayor and governor.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!
