Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) blasted his Republican colleagues for their silence over Trump’s Department of Homeland Security’s attacks on Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) after the Democratic Senator tried to question DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about the chaotic and immoral ICE raids in California.

“To see in the United States of America, the executive use force like this against a member of a co-equal branch of government to see that it has come to this already, and not a peep yet from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. No, whisper of dissent yet,” Schiff said on the Senate floor on Thursday.
