Democrats condemn Sen. Alex Padilla's treatment at Noem news conference
Democrats expressed outraged after Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference on Thursday in Los Angeles, taken to the ground and handcuffed by law enforcement officers. Noem was speaking to the media about the federal response to protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the area when Padilla entered the room and approached Noem's podium. As he approached, police officers in the room grabbed the senator, rushed him out of the room into a hallway, forced him to the ground and handcuffed him. Video shows Padilla identifying himself and saying he wanted to ask a question as law enforcement forced him out of the room. Padilla was later seen without handcuffs speaking to Noem in a conference room. Noem said later that the two spoke for 10 to 15 minutes and exchanged phone numbers. Noem said she didn't expect him to be charged. Noem said law enforcement reacted because he took steps toward her without identifying himself. Video of the incident captures Padilla identifying himself as he is being dragged out; it's not clear if he identified himself before the incident or as he approached the podium. Padilla's Democratic colleagues were critical of the way he was treated. "I just saw something that sickened my stomach -- the manhandling of a United States senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Padilla "one of the most decent people I know." "This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful," Newsom wrote on X. "Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now." Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass posted on X, "What just happened to @SenAlexPadilla is absolutely abhorrent and outrageous." The Congressional Hispanic Caucus demanded an investigation into the incident. "This is unacceptable, full stop," the CHC posted on X. "@SenAlexPadilla attended an open press conference to engage in debate, to represent his state, to do his job. We demand a full investigation and consequences for every official involved in this assault against a sitting US senator." DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Padilla did not identify himself before approaching the podium. "Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem," she said in a post on X. "Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers' repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately." A statement from Padilla's office said he was in the building to receive a briefing from NORTHCOM commander Gen. Gregory Guillot and was listening to Noem's news conference. "He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information," the statement said.

Democratic Senator Alex Padilla is forcefully removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference and handcuffed
'I'm Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' he shouted in a halting voice. The stunning scene of a U.S. senator being aggressively removed from a Cabinet secretary's news conference prompted immediate outrage from his Democratic colleagues in the chamber. It comes as the Trump administration has aggressively targeted protesters in California who are demonstrating against immigration raids, including by sending in National Guard troops and Marines. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said Padilla 'chose disrespectful political theater and interrupted a live press conference.' They claimed erroneously that Padilla did not identify himself and said Secret Service believed him to be an attacker. Advertisement 'Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers' repeated commands,' the statement said, adding that 'officers acted appropriately.' Padilla's office said in a statement that he was in the building for a military briefing and stepped into Noem's event. 'He tried to ask the secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information,' his office said. Advertisement California Senator Alex Padilla was pushed out of the room as Noem held a news conference regarding the recent protests in Los Angeles on Thursday. Etienne Laurent/Associated Press Noem told Fox LA afterward that she had a 'great' conversation with Padilla after the scuffle, but called his approach 'something that I don't think was appropriate at all.' The fracas in Los Angeles came just days after Democratic U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted on federal charges alleging she assaulted and interfered with immigration officers outside a detention center in New Jersey while Newark's mayor was being arrested after he tried to join a congressional oversight visit at the facility. Democrats have framed the charges as intimidation efforts by the Trump administration. Padilla, the son of immigrants from Mexico, has been a harsh critic of President Donald Trump and his mass deportations agenda. In a post on the social platform X, he said of recent federal immigration raids in Los Angeles, 'Trump isn't targeting criminals in his mass deportation agenda, he is terrorizing communities, breaking apart families and putting American citizens in harm's way.' At the Capitol, senators were sharing the video among one another as they gathered on the Senate floor for a series of votes. Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., said she texted Padilla immediately 'to let him know we support him.' She said she also showed it to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. 'I think he was as shocked as we all were,' Blunt Rochester said. 'So, hopefully we will come together as one voice.' Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, called the video 'utterly revolting' and said there should be consequences.

Lawmakers outraged over Padilla's forcible removal from Noem press conference
Washington — Lawmakers are calling for answers after Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, expressed shock over "the manhandling of a United States senator," adding that he wants answers "to what the hell went on." Padilla stood up and walked to the front of the room while Noem was speaking and tried to ask her a question. Federal agents began shoving him out of the room as he said, "Hands off, hands off. I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Once outside the room, the agents placed him on the ground and put him in handcuffs. His office said Padilla was in Los Angeles "exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government's operations in Los Angeles and across California" and was in the building for a separate briefing. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said Secret Service agents "thought [Padilla] was an attacker and officers acted appropriately." Noem told reporters that she and Padilla met after her press conference and had a "very productive" conversation. "I wished that he would have reached out and identified himself and let us know who he was and that he wanted to talk," Noem said. "His approach, you know, was something that I don't think was appropriate at all. But the conversation was great and we're going to continue to communicate. We exchanged phone numbers and we're going to continue to talk on we can communicate better." Sen.

PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images Nonetheless, Sen. Adam Schiff, Padilla's fellow California senator, called on Noem to resign and said there should be an investigation into law enforcement's conduct. "It's just outrageous and disgraceful and sickening to watch," he said. "In the video, he's identifying himself as Sen. Alex Padilla, so I have no doubt that they understood exactly who he was, and that makes it all the more troubling." Schiff added that Padilla has "every right to ask questions" and "to be treated the way he was, to be essentially brought to the ground and shackled after identifying himself, is a disgraceful action." Schiff was one of a slew of Senate Democrats who took to the Senate floor following the incident. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon reiterated Schumer's call for an investigation, saying he was "extremely outraged." Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said "this to me is such an abuse of authority" and "there can be no justification." Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said it was "unacceptable" and that Democrats and Republicans should condemn the way Padilla was treated. "I have been here for more than 32 years," Murray said. "I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes as I speak to both sides of this aisle about this horrendous incident that occurred." Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut called it "an assault on the rule of law" and "an assault on our democracy." Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said "there is no context that justifies this action." "This is the stuff of dictatorships," Schatz said. "It is actually happening. A United States senator was manhandled, shoved to the ground and cuffed." Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Nevada Democrat, likewise called on Noem to resign. "Secretary Noem, you should resign," Cortez Masto said in a post on X. "You're head of Homeland Security and you can't take a question from a sitting U.S. Senator at a press conference? This level of abuse of power is shameful, outrageous, and is not doing anything to keep our homeland safe." Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, brought up the incident during a House committee hearing on immigration, saying he was "horrified" and asking the Democratic governors before him, "tell me how you would feel if Marines were sent into your state or your senators were taken by the fists and pushed out of rooms?" "What is going on in this country?" Khanna added. California Gov. Gavin Newsom also shared an image of Padilla on X, saying, "If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you." The outrage wasn't only among Democrats. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, told reporters she had seen a clip of the incident, calling it "horrible." "It is shocking at every level. It's not the America I know," she said. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters that he had seen video of Padilla's removal but wanted more information before commenting further on the matter. "Obviously we will have a response, but I want to get the facts and find out exactly what happened before we make any comments," Thune said. and contributed to this report.
