6:20Now PlayingKristi Noem’s Team Assaults U.S. Senator Padilla During Press Event.
In this video, Hawk breaks down the shocking events that took place on June 12, when California Senator Alex Padilla was violently removed from a DHS press conference. DHS Secretary Christi Noem is already lying about what happened—even though the incident was caught on tape.
Padilla, a sitting U.S. Senator and the son of Mexican immigrants, attempted to ask a question during the event when he was aggressively subdued by Noem’s security team. Hawk explains how the racial dynamics, political context, and rising authoritarian behavior all intersect in this moment.
The video highlights Noem’s apparent failure to recognize Padilla and how her team treated him not like a senator but like a perceived threat—something Hawk links to broader patterns of abuse, racial profiling, and MAGA authoritarianism.
Hawk also explores why Trump’s approval is sinking and how Republicans sticking by him could suffer devastating consequences in the midterms.
If you're watching what’s happening in L.A. and across the country and asking, “How is this legal?”, Hawk’s answer is: It’s not. And it’s only getting worse.
