The officers who took down the US Senator Padilla need to have California state charges brought against them. Charge and arrest them. Jail them without bond until their trial. Start taking out the foot soldiers.

In fact, let's see ALL the ICE and DHS foot soldiers who make illegal assaults using EXCESSIVE force on arrestees face state charges. Take down the foot soldiers!

This is America. State AGs and governors need to push back for us. Use the power of the people.

Yes. The courts are issuing orders, then not following through with contempt.

The courts don't have the authority, nor the personnel to enact an arrest of an ICE "agent". ICE has been given far-reaching latitude to arrest "undocumented" immigrants, unfortunately.

I have never been a fan of ICE. I believe it has been given latitude that was never intended by our founding fathers. If the majority of the Republican men and women in congress had any conscience at all they would do something about ICE and the current administration.

If you remember correctly, Boasberg was going to issue contempt due to ICE not following court orders. They moved to a different court leaving Boasberg unable to follow through. I am not speaking of the Evil Ice agents and their phony BS of not producing a judicial warrant as is required.

Wrong in large part. Anyone has the ability to contact the AGs office of their state. Why are you trying to quell a solution? Where ate your loyalties?

Who will take them down? Certainly not the Marines. Seal Team 6? Mossad? MI6? That plucky group of retired CIA agents determined to save America?

If we’re taking bets—mossad especially after the exacting strikes in Iran, would be my bet.

I’m voting with my wallet. I’m a senior and a single mom (widowed) of a minor I have to put through college but I’ve been donating through Act Blue, especially to our exemplary Black female representatives, as well as others, for months. Democracy depends on us and we depend on them. I’m also a paid Meidastouch subscriber and proud owner of a pink Legal AF T shirt. You get what you pay for.

Who's Not Surprised by Cheeto Plunging America Toward War

Orange Cheeto is a belligerent angry bellicose hostile threatening confrontational POS who takes pleasure in inflicting emotional and physical pain in other human beings So why would it be surprising that this immorally bankrupt asshole wouldn't throw the country into war

And his Nazi sycophants in Congress will rubber stamp the effort because they can

Just another reason to encourage neighbors friends relatives to keep up the pressure on the Nazi party and Cheeto by Protest Protest Protest

They hide behind the “Christian Religion” title, but the are doing the devil’s bidding knowingly! A true Christian believes in loving thy neighbor, caring & healing thy neighbor as one who would be cared for, feeding thy neighbor, clothing thy neighbor, giving shelter to those who need it! Not this regime—they are all FAKE CHRISTIANS hiding behind the words they throw around so arrogantly!

Agreed Rachel B. Sen Padilla and everyone of the legislators that have been detained, handcuffed & manhandled should sue Fox along with the government agents, actors and ALL MEMBERS of this regime that have colluded in this evil partisan group of thugs!

I agree any member of the Democrat Party being arrested is a badge of honor. They have more balls than any coward Republican standing up to Dribble Dick Dick-tator Diaper Donnie.

Thank you for shedding light on this unfolding situation. Regardless of political affiliation, the deeper concern here is about the health of our democratic systems and the integrity of legal processes. When arrests, investigations, or public narratives appear politically motivated—on any side—it erodes public trust.

What’s needed now more than ever is transparency, fairness, and a collective return to shared ethical standards. These aren’t just political moments—they’re tests of our institutional integrity and how we choose to treat each other as fellow citizens.

Appreciate the continued efforts to unpack the legal aspects in a way the public can engage with. Conversations like these—rooted in facts, not fear—are part of what keeps a society conscious and compassionate.

Why aren't the threats and intimidation of the law firms Extortion/Blackmail? Trump made threats to deprive them of a property right if they did not give him what he wanted, loyalty and providing pro bono legal services to Trump's defense lawyers.
