Senator Limón's Statement Regarding the Actions Taken Against Senator Alex Padilla

"I am appalled that Senator Alex Padilla (D-California) was thrown to the ground and handcuffed at a press conference. As a United States Senator he has the right to ask questions about the health and safety of our residents who are being taken into custody. This isn’t right." - Senator Monique Limón
