“Indignante, dictatorial y vergonzoso”: Condenan políticos estadounidenses el trato al senador Alex Padilla en conferencia de Kristi Noem

.@SenAlexPadilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now. pic.twitter.com/Eki2cuTymb

What just happened to @SenAlexPadilla is absolutely abhorrent and outrageous.

He is a sitting United States Senator.

This administration’s violent attacks on our city must end.pic.twitter.com/qbh9ZPE8i9

United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.

This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.pic.twitter.com/ODTNb92JE4

The way @SenAlexPadilla was treated today was unnecessary and outrageous.

It's an abuse of power and it must stop.

Now.https://t.co/4M6i9XLNRm

This Administration is out of control!

They are shoving to the ground and handcuffing a United States Senator.

The entire Trump Administration is unhinged.

Senator Padilla is as much a part of the Federal Government as they are. pic.twitter.com/rdtDvDWW27

“Didn’t identify himself”? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video.

You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator.

You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil.

If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: Dictator. https://t.co/h4wNMPu9Rt

Sen. Padilla thrown to the ground, manhandled, brutally taken down, handcuffed

It's disgusting
Reeks of totalitarianism
Un-American
Not what democracies do

Sen. Padilla was in that building to ask questions of what's going on in California, doing his duty to his constituents… https://t.co/3IW2o1SX6H

.@SenAlexPadilla represents the best of the Senate.

The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation.

He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered.

I’m with Alex. https://t.co/QlQyDO1k80

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.

The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.

Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.

No one is above the law. pic.twitter.com/s9pHXP5tRD

Let’s call it what it is: a disgraceful abuse of power. Senator Alex Padilla was dragged and handcuffed out for daring to question Secretary Noem. This wasn’t a threat—it was dissent. They’re not keeping us safe—they’re silencing us. pic.twitter.com/SbSpwfuIHL

🚨THROWN TO THE GROUND AND ARRESTED: CA @SenAlexPadilla was forcibly removed from a DHS press conference—an elected U.S. Senator who represents the PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. This isn’t just shocking, it’s a threat to the rule of law and democratic accountability.

Sen. Padilla is… pic.twitter.com/l81OWrJ3wq

This is disgusting.

If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you? https://t.co/RVvs52jd4b

Senator Padilla was elected to serve the people of California, and he flew home to get answers for his constituents. Instead, he was forcibly removed from a public press conference — thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

The fact that the Trump administration is willing to use… https://t.co/57vead2BDO

What we saw today is what we see in dictatorships.

And if they can do this to @SenAlexPadilla, imagine how vulnerable others in this country are to this kind of tyranny and abuse.

This is a moment for every American to STAND UP for freedom and for our Constitution. pic.twitter.com/TIwbqDFodT

What happened to @SenAlexPadilla is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced. pic.twitter.com/XEoY6OnR4Z

Now is not the time to be silent.

The video footage of @SenAlexPadilla being forcibly removed and handcuffed at DHS Secretary Noem’s press conference in LA is disturbing and unacceptable.

What we’ve seen today continues the dangerous trend of this administration intimidating… pic.twitter.com/pMmXO2fN9S

Absolutely sickened to see the forcible removal and manhandling of a U.S. Senator – and my friend – Alex Padilla, for doing his job.

I hope by tonight, every Democrat and Republican member of this body has the courage to say something. This has gone too far. It’s not right. pic.twitter.com/rukSyJkvrc
