During a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles, Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was physically removed by security personnel. As Padilla attempted to ask questions, he was forcibly escorted out, insisting on addressing Noem about her exaggerations regarding violent crime. He has been a critic of Trump's policies, recalling that the current crisis in Los Angeles is a distraction from Trump's agenda. Reports indicate Padilla was later taken to the ground by FBI agents and was temporarily detained.
I'm Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary,
Let's be clear: what you're all seeing on the news about the Los Angeles region right now is a crisis that Donald Trump has created, and he's doing it to distract from his failed agenda, Padilla said on the Senate floor Tuesday.
