00:01Now on Senator Padilla. What happened last week to Senator Padilla was beyond
00:06the pale. I don't care who you are or what your views are, there is never
00:10justification for federal agents to put their hands on the member of the U.S.
00:15Senate, throw him onto the ground and cuff him for no reason other than he was
00:19doing his job. The way agents treated Senator Padilla is what you see in
00:26totalitarian regimes. It is outrageous that Secretary Noem let this happen and
00:32then lied about the incident after the fact. Neither the Senate nor any member
00:38of government can tolerate a member of this chamber to be treated in this way.
00:43Secretary Noem has proven herself to be derelict in her responsibilities. I yield
00:49the floor and note to the absence of a quorum.
