Physically shoving, handcuffing, and forcibly removing a sitting United States Senator from a press conference is unacceptable.
Senator Padilla is right to demand answers from this Administration.

We are heartbroken to learn that an Air India plane crashed in Ahmedabad with over 240 people on board.
Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all impacted by this tragedy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...
This is not a war zone – this is a protest.
Anyone who is co-opting these protests to set cars on fire and throw things at police officers must be prosecuted.
But there is no reason for there to be more National Guardsmen and Marines deployed in Los Angeles than in Iraq and Syria.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has been the gold standard for vaccine guidance for over 60 years.
RFK Jr.'s decision threatens to undermine that mission and leave our nation less prepared to respond to public health threats.
I urge the Administration to immediately order the Marines back to Camp Pendleton and refrain from further military deployments that inflame tensions rather than resolve them.
Federal, state, and local leaders should be working in partnership to restore calm, protect the rights of demonstrators, and uphold the constitutional principles that define our democracy.
Unfortunately, President Trump has chosen escalation. The unprecedented deployment of active-duty Marines paired with mass ICE raids and use of tear gas in civilian areas represents a clear abuse of federal power that undermines civil liberties, destabilizes communities, and erodes public trust.
This moment calls for leadership that calms tensions—not escalates them. I know we can both protect public safety and uphold the rights guaranteed by our Constitution.
These protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful. But a small number of agitators have co-opted this moment to commit unacceptable acts of violence—including attacking police officers and setting fires. I want to be clear: I condemn these violent agitators and they must be prosecuted.
The right to peacefully protest must be protected. From Sacramento to Los Angeles, thousands of people are exercising their First Amendment right to protest the Trump Administration’s actions that are separating families and instilling fear in immigrant communities.

The Trump Administration seeks to inflame tensions and provoke violence from protesters to justify further crackdowns.
We must not give them that excuse.
I urge protesters to remain peaceful and law enforcement to exercise restraint.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos.
Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

David Huerta has long stood up for working people and immigrant families across California. His violent detention while exercising his constitutional rights is deeply troubling. I stand with David and SEIU California in demanding answers and accountability.

4.6 million American children live in a home where a gun is kept loaded and unlocked.
On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I #WearOrange to honor those we’ve lost to gun violence and raise awareness about the commonsense steps we can take to protect our kids and prevent future tragedies.

Don’t let Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Twitter war distract you from what’s at stake: 16 million people will lose their health care if Trump’s “beautiful” bill gets to his desk.
While they continue to fight, I am focused on protecting your health care.

New analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office finds that 16 million people will lose their health care if President Trump gets his way.
We must defeat this bill.
