Today, US Senator for California, Alex Padilla, was forcibly removed from a press conference being held by Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security.
Noem stated she thought Padilla was an attacker, which beggers credibility. Unidentified men, not in any uniform, grabbed Senator Padilla and removed him from the room. Padilla identified himself as a US Senator while he was being shoved from the room.
Later, video shows men in law enforcement uniforms identifed as uniformed FBI took Padilla to the ground and handcuffed him. One of the ununiformed men eventually blocked the camera with his body during the arrest, stating video recording was not allowed.
Noem later claimed that Padilla launched himself at the podium and claimed he did not identify himself. Again, video shows Padilla identifying himself to those men and the room.
This is the current government of the United States. Unidentified men, not in any uniform, are used, especially by Noem, to intimidate, harass, and arrest civilians and members of government who will not go along with their fascist ways.
This is just the beginning. If they feel this comfortable now, it will only get worse if they are allowed to continue. But, we all know there will be no investigation into this, or any other, incident.
