[Peacetrain]

6. I am in tears watching this.. I can't believe it..

[Irish_Dem]

23. I have smoke coming out of my ears.

[electric_blue68]

29. I didn't see the whole thing at first. "Just" him being shoved out of the room. Later I saw the whole thing. After...

(Afterwards) I also burst into tears!
Horrifying!

[live love laugh]

3. Noems hair and makeup 💄 are what's most important.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Costume Barbie, make up and hair extensions, all paid for by the US taxpayer.

What I want to call her is not politically correct.

12. Holy shit. MAGA are the thinnest skinned crybabies on the planet.

They can dish it out but they cannot take it.

And no, Kristi, we don't want your "liberation". We want you and your fucking ICE goons out of our city now. Fuckface has done enough damage.

[travelingthrulife]

21. I want those MAGA goons out of our state.

[Initech]

25. And may they never come back!

19. Did that guy say "There is no recording allowed out here per FBI rights"?

Fuck off with that fascist bullshit!

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which includes California, has held that there is a First Amendment right to record matters of public interest in public places, which “includes the right to record law enforcement officers engaged in the exercise of their official duties in public places.” Askins v. Dep’t of Homeland Sec., 899 F.3d 1035, 1044 (9th Cir. 2018); see also Fordyce v. City of Seattle, 55 F.3d 436 (9th Cir. 1995).

8. Did they not know who he was, or they knew and didn't care?

I can't see how they benefit from this. Sorta crosses a line, no?

[FirstLight]

9. He stated who he was...

They.dont.care. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[jeffreyi]

10. Designed to incite violence from the protesters, maybe.

To "justify" everything. May those with cool heads prevail.

[newdeal2]

14. Audience of one

Trump wants his enemies locked up or worse. This is just the start.

[Initech]

11. Get the fuck out of my city NOW, Noem! You're not welcome here!

[malaise]

16. Love how he read the statement in English and Spanish

Rec

17. ... He could be heard saying, "I am Sen. Alex Padilla and I have questions for the secretary"

before he was removed, handcuffed and held facedown on the floor in a hallway ...

27. Killer of puppies and goats in her favorite gravel pit, though her hair and makeup were excellent both times...

Witch...

[MichMan]

28. LA should file assault charges against the Secret Service

Padilla should also sue them individually for $10 million each.
