During a press conference addressing ICE protests in Los Angeles, Senator Alex Padilla was forcefully subdued by Secret Service and FBI agents when attempting to ask questions. Afterward, he expressed concern over the implications of such treatment, questioning what it means for other individuals in marginalized communities. Erin Burnett referenced commentary from Xochitl Hinojosa regarding race potentially influencing the agents' behavior. The incident has drawn significant criticism, raising alarms about the conduct of law enforcement officials and their treatment of non-white individuals.
If this can happen to me, a United States senator... imagine what they are doing to people in communities, not just throughout Los Angeles, but throughout the country.
Xochitl was saying... she feels that this happened to you because of how you look. Those Secret Service agents would have known exactly who you were.
