Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

    If Newsom had the balls he’d start arresting ICE agents and throwing them in gen pop like everyone else in Cali’s prison system.

    The key thing is that Noem had just announced her intent to use military force to remove California’s elected officials

    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.

    After which they pushed Senator Padilla out of the room for saying his name and trying to ask a question and then handcuffed him.

    You know, I was thinking the other day about how it’s such a shame that ICE and other federal agents are permitted to wear face coverings so they can act anonymously and follow even the most blatantly illegal orders without the slightest fear of public outrage being directed at them personally.

    It’s just so cowardly to collect a pay check for something you’re so ashamed of doing that you have to cover your face. It’s like getting paid to march with the KKK.

    Anyway, everybody is carrying an infrared camera that can see through face coverings and pretty reliably identify all of the cowards, even when they’re wearing their masks or through things like glasses, perhaps including face shields.

    We just haven’t started using our phones to do this because the need has not been great enough. I’m sure it would give them pause to be profiled beating people in California and then linked to their true identity and home address back in their hometown later.

    I am no expert in this, but I know it’s been studied pretty extensively.
