Padilla's office said he showed up at the facility on Thursday to demand answers about a collision in Woodland involving an unmarked ICE vehicle and a pedestrian. Padilla referred to the incident as "part of a broader pattern" of the agency engaging in excessive use of force.
Multiple angles of footage obtained by CBS News Sacramento show that the pedestrian, Antonio Moreida, was recording and was standing in the middle of the street when he was struck by the vehicle. Moreida, a volunteer with a local immigration advocacy group, told CBS News Sacramento that he was there to document an ICE operation that was happening in the area.
"DHS definitely has a way of framing things to their benefit," Moreida said on Wednesday.
"We've seen this Administration repeatedly deflect, deny, and avoid responsibility, even in the face of clear evidence. Today's visit only reinforced those concerns," Padilla said on Thursday.
"Sen. Padilla has consistently shown more concern for criminal illegal aliens who've broken our laws and destroyed any possibility of ever remaining in our country than he ever has for Rachel Morin, Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and the true victims of illegal alien crimes in America," a DHS spokesperson said.
"I demand that ICE immediately investigate this incident, fully cooperate with local law enforcement, and ensure that any individuals found to have engaged in misconduct or unlawful behavior are held accountable," Thompson said on the day of the collision.
DHS has not announced any formal investigation into the collision. The Woodland Police Department said it is conducting its own criminal investigation into the incident.
