Sen. Alex Padilla removed from news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Noem

Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday while questioning Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during her remarks on ICE operations.

Padilla, a California Democrat, was escorted out after stating, “You insist on exaggerating,” and identified himself as a U.S. senator while being pushed out.

Video later showed him handcuffed and facedown outside the room. Noem continued speaking, criticizing California leadership.
