Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

What they did to him is patently illegal! I do not understand why we are not pressing charges against these thugs. How do we know these people are any more legitimate than Vane Boelter? This is assault and kidnapping and anyone doing this shit needs to know there are consequences!

Our country is no longer recognizable as a democracy. We are so sorry for your horrible, abusive treatment & the total disrespect they displayed. We stand with you, Sen. Padilla, & will continue to resist & fight for the rights for every person in our land! Thank you for standing up & speaking out!

Actually, if you take the entire history of this nation into account- how it has treated African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants- this is very recognizable. The fact that the MAGA crowd has to break every rule to try and achieve this shows how they are losing the war.

AGREE 1000%- For some % of the population who actually care- we may have witnessed the 1960s civil rights protests, Vietnam protests MSM of the time didn't cover Stonewall NYC- too unsettling for the 3 networks to talk about on natl level on to George Floyd BLM marches now- EVERYONE is WITNESS

I'd personally love that! But the risks are very real & I suspect that kind of incident would open the door to a 'shoot on sight' order from Nutjob Noem or Border Bastard Homan. And give the Clown King another excuse to send in troops. 🤬

He was from Ca and had the temerity to ask a question. The Comptroller in NY just was arrested by ICE for asking to see a warrant. Someone is going to see the business end of a gun for shit like this. Not advocating for that but it’s the reality in a country with 350 million guns.

He was in Los Angeles when he asked that question, to the head of the Department his Senate subcommittee oversees- there is a Zero Percentage change DogKiller didn't know who he was, and essentially the same percentage that the "agents" who manhandled him didn't. And it still happened.

The only way to effectively end this regime is to stop being a part of the machinations that allow it to operate: we need an organized general strike to grind everything to a halt It seems impossible, money is tight, but it would get results quicker than you think if we all said "Hell no!" together

Help spread the word, and make sure to keep boycotting the enablers. I'm hoping we can get off the ground by July 4th at the latest but they need a lot more people committing to ending this regime. We could do it TODAY if every person who attended No Kings simply committed to this too!

No GOP legislator is moved by this. I wish I could believe otherwise but I don't. They should have all been forced to face the Senator as he relived his story. U.S. citizens & immigrants have had to endure months of abuse. At the very least let them experience a few moments of discomfort.

Utterly degrading and humiliating experience. This doesn't even warrant an apology, it warrants a Code of Conduct investigation. If ICE has no standards or limits on their behavior, they are a Private Police Force, not a Public Force.
