JDCA strongly condemns the forcible removal of Senator Padilla from Homeland Security Secretary Noem's press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 12. This was an outrageous action taken against an elected official who was doing his job conducting oversight. The forceful pushing to the ground and handcuffing of a U.S. senator is right out of the authoritarian playbook and a direct threat to our democracy. As American Jews, we know all too well what happens when governments arrest political opponents and silence dissent.  

Sign here to urge your members of Congress to stand with Senator Padilla and to launch an investigation into the Trump Administration's attack on him and our democracy.
