Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) posted a video of lawmakers marching their way through the U.S. Capitol to demand accountability from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) after a Democratic senator was recorded Thursday afternoon being tackled by federal agents.
"We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal," Frost wrote on Bluesky.
The march came after several senators took to the floor to speak out against the way that Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was manhandled by federal agents during a press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
