Los Angeles, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn issued the following statement after U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was shoved to the ground and handcuffed at a Department of Homeland Security press conference:

“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 just as much of the Federal Government as they are.

The Trump Administration is abusing their power. They are using force on immigrants, their family members, and now on a sitting Senator. Senator Padilla wasn’t interfering with one of their operations. This was at a staged press conference in front of the cameras — all for show.”
