You know, I wish someone could explain this to me, but there is a RAMPANT feeling among Latin Americans that Politicians are exemption from the law. The term that politicians use in these stand offs is FUERO. The Senador will say, FUERO. The law does NOT Apply to me. Somehow in ancient Spanish Law the Kings were above having the LAW enforced, and in England, it was that the law had to be obeyed, whether it was a candlestick maker, a butcher, or the King. So, the dear Senator needs to decide if he wants English Law or Spanish Monarch Rule. Get with the program Senator. Your friends all broke the law. BEND.

It’s a reason I keep an X account - to go directly to the idiots...

“...but arresting judges and public officials isn’t something to undertake lightly. Critics warned of the chilling effect it could lead to and the precedent it would set.”

OK - I’ll bite,
Why is it “chilling” to have those who run the “Justice” system beholden to the same laws they regularly put others away for?

“Padilla was pushed to the ground and handcuffed.”

Tased, hog tied, tarred and feathered and escorted out of town on a rail would be a better way to reward this scumbag.

Padilla needs to understand that nobody is above the law, even if your parents are illegal aliens, and Sen. Padilla is an anchor baby. How in the hell is our country so infiltrated by such people who love to put the boot on throats?

Yes, and it’s great. They are not taking any crap off criminals and those who hate America.

Sorry, a bum looking guy approaching and yelling at a cabinet presser and then resisting the SS, is enough to be removed and cuffed.

Padilla wasn’t pepper sprayed, tazed or shot. He got to sit down with Kristi Noem for 10 or 15 minutes so I’m thinking he came out ahead.

Pudilla resisted which is why he ended up on the floor and that’s after he crashed the stage while Noem was speaking. The only people this POS cares about is La Raza and he happily puts even, or especially the illegal ones above Americans.

No.

It highlights a continuing trend in the media (TDS gaslighting).

And a continuing trend for the dems, theatrics instead of policy.

arresting judges and public officials isn’t something to undertake lightly. Critics warned of the chilling effect it could lead to and the precedent it would set. ...

...The fervor to arrest public officials who run afoul of the Trump administration doesn’t appear to be going away.

Since Dugan’s arrest:

- The Justice Department has criminally charged a big-city mayor and a RAT congresswoman.

- A Republican congressman floated arresting 100 more judges who ruled against President Donald Trump.

- Trump earlier this week floated arresting RAT California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

- And on Thursday alone, a Republican congressman advocated criminally charging three RAT governors, while Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was handcuffed after interrupting a press conference from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Some in the MAGA movement are now pushing for Padilla to be charged, though there’s no indication he will be.

Almost all of these situations involved officials on the opposite political side of Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You show me a RAT, I'll show you a felon.

Arrest criminals. That seems simple enough.

Who cares what party, perspective or persuasion.

Arrest them all. If any criminals are illegal alien invaders, deport them...immediately never to return.

Easy...peazy.

Maybe they would have preferred that he got shot in the back like Ashli Babbitt, who was merely climbing through a broken window and not pushing and shoving.

Yes, that, too, highlighting a trend of the Dems isolating themselves and bleeding supporters.

I hope that trend continues.
