Senator Elizabeth Warren has demanded accountability following the incident where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's security forcibly removed Senator Alex Padilla during a press conference. Padilla attempted to question Noem about the deployment of National Guard troops in response to protests against ICE actions. Warren criticized Noem's justification for the incident, arguing it reflects a broader attack on free speech and oversight. She also called for Noem's resignation and warned that such actions could indicate how the administration treats ordinary Americans.
"Why was Sen. Padilla handcuffed? He was handcuffed for asking a question? He was handcuffed for doing his job as a senator?" Warren emphasized the senator's oversight role.
"If this is how this administration responds to a senator ... imagine what they're doing to everyday Americans," Padilla highlighted the concern about the administration's behavior.
