Commentary: First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator
Briefly

In a surprising incident in Los Angeles, Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed by federal agents while attempting to ask a question at a news conference hosted by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Despite Padilla identifying himself as a U.S. senator, the officers continued to restrain him, prompting outrage from fellow Senator Adam Schiff and criticism from Governor Gavin Newsom. The incident raises significant concerns about the treatment of officials and citizens alike by law enforcement in such circumstances.
