"How could you say that you did not know who he was?" L.A. Mayor Karen Bass speaks out on the forced removal of California Sen. Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference. DHS claimed the senator "interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself."
Yes. How could you? Fortunately, it’s all recorded so we can see who’s lying to us.

And it had nothing to do with him being a Latin man, right??? And it had nothing to do with him not being white, right???
It is high time for California to seriously consider taking the only possible action: becoming an independent country. There is no longer any common future possible with a country that has chosen fascism.
You can turn off the sound and just watch the sign language guy and his perfect emotional body and facial expressions. Democrats in Congress have long been using ineffective words. I'd love to see this guy on a Senate or House Committee questioning a Republican in sign language. That would be fun!

HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF!!!!!!
Surely there’s video
Just like ICE identifies themselves behind masks, no markings on their uniforms and not wearing badges.
Thrilled to see the ASL interpreter, my beautiful language is so expressive! Thank you for the extra boost of accessibility while covering Noem's unacceptable behavior
Trump is Evil Because : 77 million voters are Evil, Christian fundamentalists evangelicals are Evil. Old White Nationalists are Evil. Fox News Administration Appointees are Evil. 77 million Voters own Trump’s military insurrection Evil in LA & across the Nation. Trump is just the symptom.
United States Congressmen and Senators have a right and a DUTY to monitor the actions of the executive branch, and by law are permitted complete unrestricted access to everything which the executive branch does ...
And this. 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."
Noem probably thought Sen. Padilla was actually Habeas Corpus.
"Habeas Corpus? Sounds like Mexican! Git'em, boys!"
Loved her response. And props to the deaf signer--knew exactly what he was saying and I don't know sign.
My mom & I were enjoying the ASL guy a lot.
I love the ASL interpreter's face
"interrupted a live presser" So basically it's a lesser offense than say interrupting an election certification. So Sen Padilla will not get a pardon, right?
She was great, doing a great job standing her ground for her people
First Latino Senator to represent ..... That is EXACTLY the reason. It's hatred and racism by these cretins. Pure and simple.
Did he?
Does it really matter who he is?
he was literally wearing a jacket that says US Senate
There are only 2 senators in California. She knew who he was. Noem LIED on Trump Fox State TV about what We saw with our Eyes. Dictators Rise to Power through Terror, Chaos and LIES❗️ Never normalize Trump❗️ Cruelty is the Point.
"It is not an untruth... it is a LIE." That's the way to talk, no tippy- toeing around when an attempt is being made to usurp the authority of the duly elected US State Goverment.
You know, I wasn't really thinking about attending a protest on Saturday, but I am damn sure now going to be there. This needs to be stopped, now.
. Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember. >>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<< They have now become the enemy. Treat them accordingly!
Despicable and Anti-American.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell, 1984
I'm getting gaslit hard by the online maga cucks, who simply repeat the puppy killer's lies.
Odds are they KNEW who he was before he spoke. The instantaneous level of aggression, no attempt to speak to him, no reaction to his id as a Senator, no apology in their statement are all highly suspicious. They should be brought into Court to testify under oath. No more social media explanation!

"How could you not know who he was?" They are either incredibly arrogant or incredibly stupid. Check that : both.
If she’s doesn’t know the senate by face and name, same for doj, they’ve no business with n the government.
Hey, @msnbc.com you can say DHS LIED when they claimed the Senator... since we've all seen the video. This pussyfooting with words is why MSM is failing us. Speak clearly and factually and people will support you. But I forgot, you've already succumbed to the fascists with few exceptions.
WE HAVE EYES AND EARS
Yeah. She was confirmed by the Senate. You’d think she’d know who the senators are.
They know they F up. Now they are trying to cover their butts. The PR doesn’t look good for the dog killer.
Remove Noem Now!
So all BROWN PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE EVEN YOUR BOSS? Is that it Kristy?
Had enough of Noem? 202 224 3121 phone number for the Congressional Switchboard. Here is Resistbot letter to use if you want. resist.bot/petitions/PE...
Looking on, from #Europe, this video says it all to the rest of the #FreeWorld. #America is now an #Authoritarian #Fascist state under #PutinsConvictedOrangeTurd #DonaldTrump. The #civilised #Freeworld should now avoid visiting & #BoycottAmerica as #TouristDestination
Republicans always lie
Im hearing so much about what does this mean, what will they do next….but i havent seen anyone ask “what do we do now?” They have shown us what they will do when we protest peacefully, im worried we have to trust them. Please tell me theres another way out of this besides literal killing aka war
The Mayor also reported that ICE is at emergency rooms and homeless shelters
They are all full of 💩! They knew exactly who he was!!!
📣📣📣We need massive turnout Sat at No Kings March - find a protest near you at Indivisible.org #PeacefulProtests
He's literally ranking member of the Senate committee with oversight for DHS. She damn well knows him!
#ImpeachNoem
Great television. Now get off the couch and RUN FOR SOMETHING 🥹 I'm BKA #stumpchump
Couldn’t read his knuckles, but he does look a bit Hispanic and that’s all it takes for that deplorable group of misfits.
Kristi has an IQ of 67.
More strongly worded words.
National Guard Soldiers Deployed in Trump's LA Aren't Getting Paid/ no Tricare/ no formal activation orders/ sleeping on floors - in legal/ admin limbo & arrests will be thrown out - no war - Hegseth hired quit www.military.com/daily-news/2...
There is video that explicitly contradicts DHS claims, why won't you air it?
Noem is power-hungry and out of control
The first thing he said was “I’m Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question.”
Yes, clearly Padilla is a target because he’s Latino.
She knew. They need bring her before the Senate to answer for this.
Secret Service should be embarrassed about that violation of 18 USC Sec 1001.
I have the sound off and I don’t understand ASL, but the interpreter seems to be just tearing the administration a series of new assholes
I guarantee that Noem and her staff knew exactly who was in the room by sight.
Why is the news media not running film of MTG, Lauren B, and other disruptive GOP behaviors when these fools were never arrested????!!!!
It’s a partially false equivalency. They were engaged in catcalls. He was attempting to ask a question.
But, you get the point.
He identified himself. The Botox has clearly stunned Noem’s brain into a stupor.
I get Botox for migraines and let me tell you I would NEVER be that ignorant. Although a stupor sounds nice right now!
🤣 it does, doesn’t it? I hope it helps your migraines. 💕
Saved my career! I don't know what happens if I lose insurance but for now I'm great, thank you!
💕 Migraines suck.
💪🏾
DHS lies. It’s on the video.
He was yelling his own name and asking her a question!!! I guess she's too stupid to answer him.
Bunch of criminals running America
bsky.app/profile/20th...
The Senator from the SAME state you ICE is raiding. #ICE #FBI #HSI #DHS #SHAME
👍👏👊🤬
He DID identify himself. Watch the video; they even tried to stop the camera recording in the hallway while Sen. Padilla was being forced down and handcuffed by the goon squad
ICE interrupts people's lives without identifying themselves.
If I was a protester in LA focus on the Fox News offices now!!!
He said she was exaggerating, and referred to some people she has had detained. Her Gestapo shoves him out. She’s in a Federal Building in California. He is a California Senator. He had EVERY right to be there and call her out. He wasn’t threatening or waving a weapon. He identified himself.
Truth. If Noem doesn’t know whom Padilla is then she does not belong in CA giving press conferences.
MTG wasn't hauled out and cuffed when she shouted out at Biden's state of the union. Our country is out of control.
Trying to take over my state via military coup and you don’t even know what our Senators look like???
The puppy killer with the fake ass weave lies to appease the MAGA dopes.
Because she is so full of Botox it's affecting her mind. Plus she's just plain ignorant.
She's just another liar in the liar administration.
That’s disgusting doesn’t matter who he is. You treat people with respect
Maybe she can't see past the false eyelashes and cheek implants?
One of your own anchors ALSO said he didn’t identify himself. Do better.
Which anchor? At what time? If you can’t tell us, STFU. Furthermore, the video could not be clearer. He did identify himself. He did not “lunge.” Kristi Noem absolutely knows exactly who he is.
More here at this post. You're welcome.
FFS, she works for CBS. And again, the video is absolutely clear. He identified himself quite clearly. That is a fact . . . with receipts.
I'm not saying he DIDN'T; he most definitely did. MSNBC's own anchor--which today was Christina Ruffini, who was subbing, regardless of whether she works for CBS -- said he didn't. Read the thread. Please.
OK, I dug deeper and saw where she left CBS and now is a substitute anchor for MSNBC. Sorry about that. I can’t find the clip where she fucked up bigtime, though. From looking at the thread — while wholly pissed off, no less — I incorrectly assumed at first that you were a MAGA, trolling. Sorry.
Hey, no worries—reading back, I can easily see how that happened. And I apologize—I shouldn’t have snarked. But I think we’re cool.
(And I agree the video couldn't be clearer, which is why it's infuriating for an MSNBC anchor to lead with "he didn't identify himself.")
Standard book of answers from 45 and the Republicans when asked a question they don’t want to answer
The interpreter should learn not to upstage the Mayor. Prior to the presser he couled be seen parading and preening in front of the camera
Well, to her, "they" all look alike.
But, you have to understand the ICE agents. His Latino appearance falls under the ICE rules of engagement as a potential illegal and criminal immigrant who has no rights. They practically had no choice but to arrest him. He's lucky he isn't already in some prison in South America or something.
They met several times
A press Conference is literally a question and answer session
I love the interpreter..
Shut the he'll up base
The sign language interpreter's facial expressions!!!
I’m always fascinated by these guys! And they ALL make the faces like it’s compulsory when you don’t make noise! 😂
He is on point. The disgust we all feel is written on his face. Well we all should be disgusted, or enraged at least.
So on point!
Right.....because he's a darned good one.
He was amazing!
He's awesome!
This is an absolute disgrace! He identified himself-all they saw was a man who didn’t look like them so they decided he could be added to their quota for the day! The Puppy Killer knew who he was!! Blatant racism and of course they continue to lie! The video is the proof for all of us to see!
Trump's goons have a human quota they have to pay to get their bonuses so they will go anywhere to arrest innocent members of Los Angeles's society, which is a huge diverse neighborhood of all colors, sexual orientations, rich and poor. Los Angeles is the world.
SHE LIED bsky.app/profile/meid...
Of course she did. That's all they know how to do. They aren't qualified to do the jobs they were hired to do.
Must be a prerequisite under this administration.
