Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

The NAACP will not invite President Trump to its national convention this year — the first time in the civil rights organization’s 116-year history that it has excluded a sitting president — citing his attempts to undermine American democracy.

The civil rights group condemned what it said was President Donald Trump’s attempt to undermine democracy. It has invited sitting presidents since 1909.

Standing up for human rights and due process is not a crime. Asking to see a warrant is not a crime.
ICE's unjustified arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was an abuse of power and unnecessary escalation of force.
People can see through the Trump Administration's lies.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm.
Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

Commentary: First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator
Federal agents manhandled and cuffed U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla on Friday as he tried to ask questions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. It's starting to feel like being brown is a crime.

"It's bullshit," Gov. Hochul says of the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by ICE. She says she will call him when he's out of detention. "But what about all the people who don't have that high profile position?"

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza.
Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
