Description
Democratic U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla of California has been forcefully removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference in Los Angeles and handcuffed by officers as he tried to speak up about immigration raids that have led to protests in California and elsewhere.
Video shows a Secret Service agent on Noem’s security detail grabbing Padilla by his jacket Thursday and shoving him from the room as he tried to interrupt Noem’s news conference in Los Angeles.
US Sen. Alex Padilla said he was demanding answers about the Trump administration’s “increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions” from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem when he was forcibly removed from her news conference.
Padilla said he and his colleagues had received little to no response to their questions in recent weeks so he attended the briefing for more information.
