California Senator Alex Padilla forcibly removed from and handcuffed at a news conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome. The escalation is eerily reminiscent of the scene outside that ICE detention facility in New Jersey just last month. That incident resulted this week in the indictment of Congresswoman Lam Monica Mcver by a federal grand jury.The congresswoman is facing three counts of forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. She says she plans to plead ...

This morning, a US senator who tried to ask a question of the Secretary of Homeland Security was shoved, manhandled, pushed to the ground, handcuffed. There was no apology forthcoming from the administration. They lied about what he did, saying he didn't identify.And I saw US senators, this is one of your own. How what's your reaction to this. And how big a deal does it feel like to you.Is this Oh, it was a mistaken identity. They didn't know. They were following their training.Or does this feel like someth ...

All right, we are following the breaking news out of the Middle East right now in which the Israeli defense minister has alerted the nation to a set of what he called preemptive strikes against Iran. There have been no uh explosions outside of Chiran according to the Iranian state authorities. We do not know yet where these strikes have been, how widespread they are, what facilities they're focused on.There would be in the eyes I think of the Iranian government a big difference between military strikes like ...

when you watch this and and let's let's go through this together. Describe to me what you're seeing. What's happening here.Yeah. Again, well, multiple people forcibly removing from the room. Uh I know I was trying to do two things at once, try to get my question out while trying not to lose my balance.Um they first asked me to, you know, get down on my knees like growing up where I grew up from where I grew up, you know what happens if you don't obey law enforcement. Uh, and so I began to go on my knees to ...

I'm curious uh what you think we should do to make sense of a incident like today. I saw Republican Senator Mowski said this is not America. I suppose the problem is uh with the environment and what the the president has put forward. This is America right now. Yeah. Something amazing happened in my hour. Um the tape had emerged of the um apprehension and then manhandling Senator Padilla to the ground. And you can hear on the tape that he says, "I'm Senator Padilla. " Yep. And I was getting my hair all gussi ...

Trump administration is a disgrace. Secretary Gnome is a disgrace. The manhandling of Senator Alex Padilla was a complete and total disgrace. Senator Padilla is a good man, a decent man, a patriotic man, and a hardworking man.He's the very embodiment of what a United States senator should represent in this great country of ours, anchored in the principle of self-government. He was at that press conference doing his job, asking questions about what is taking place in California, the state that he represents, ...

I'm just disgusted by what I saw. Uh he went to this briefing. He had questions for the secretary.Um he has every right to ask questions. Indeed, that is his responsibility. Uh and to be treated the way he was, to be essentially brought to the ground and shackled after identifying himself uh is a disgraceful action.Christy Gnome should never have been appointed to that office. She should resign from that office. There ought to be an investigation of the conduct of those officers.Um, she may not want to answ ...

We are a city of believers and we are a city of dreamers. So let's just remember why we are here today. Last Thursday, ICE entered our city and provoked the city by chasing people through home depots and car washes and showing up at schools and today showing up at emergency rooms and homeless shelters.Oh, ICE intervened as a pretext to federalize the National Guard. And then in the White House, the National Guard was complimented for the work that they do did to keep peace in the city Saturday night. But I ...

Just want to once again for not just the community here in Los Angeles but throughout the country because there is a lot of concern, there is a lot of tension, there is a lot of anxiety and a lot of people are beginning to make plans for what they may or may not do come this Saturday. I encourage everybody to please peacefully protest just like I was calmly and peacefully listening in that press conference and preparing attempting to ask a question. No violence, no vandalism.Please continue peacefully prote ...
