California Sen. Alex Padilla Forced to the Ground and Handcuffed for Asking Question at Homeland Security Event: Watch
California Sen. Alex Padilla was physically removed then handcuffed during a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 12. He was quickly escorted out of the room after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question. Noem, 53, was holding a press conference to address the ongoing protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies and the administration's aggressive response. Padilla — who succeeded Kamala Harris in 2021 to become California's first Latino senator — has been an outward Trump critic and directed a recent post on X at the federal immigration raids in Los Angeles. 'Trump isn't targeting criminals in his mass deportation agenda," he wrote, "he is terrorizing communities, breaking apart families and putting American citizens in harm's way.' Video footage that quickly circulated online on Thursday shows officers dragging Padilla out of the room and into the hallway after he says, 'I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary.' The footage then captures Padilla, 52, pushed down with his face against the ground and handcuffed by officers wearing FBI vests. Padilla can be heard saying, 'Hands off!' during the incident. Padilla's office issued a statement shortly afterward, saying, 'He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground, and handcuffed.' The office also clarified to the public that he was not still being held by authorities. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer. Padilla later released his own statement, saying, "We have repeatedly asked the Trump Administration for answers on the deployment of military forces and the needless escalation in Los Angeles over the last week — and have gotten limited to no information." "I attended Secretary Noem's press conference in hopes of getting some answers," he continued. "After identifying myself and trying to ask a question, I was aggressively pushed out of the room, forced to the ground, and handcuffed." Padilla concluded: "If that's what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up." The Department of Homeland Security responded to backlash from the video on X, saying, "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. Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers' repeated commands. Various politicians and members of his community have voiced their support for Senator Padilla. California Gov. Gavin Newsom shared the video on X, calling this incident 'outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.' He continued saying, 'Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.' The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which Padilla belongs to, called the situation "unacceptable, full stop' and demanded 'a full investigation and consequences for every official involved in this assault against a sitting US senator." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X, 'Watching this video sickened my stomach, the manhandling of a United States Senator, Senator Padilla.' 'We need immediate answers to what the hell went on,' Schumer added. Read the original article on People

Ahead of Bryan Kohberger's Trial, Family and Friends of Idaho Murder Victims Speak Out in New Docuseries
When four University of Idaho students were brutally killed at an off-campus residence in November 2022, it shook the small, quiet college town of Moscow and made national headlines. Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Xana's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were all stabbed to death in bedrooms on the second and third floor of the home. Two more roommates at the 1122 King Road residence, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, were home and unharmed. Early in the investigation, the surviving roommates were ruled out as suspects. While local law police restricted what they shared with the public about the investigation, rumors and speculation circulated online. More than a month after the murders took place, suspect Bryan Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with the slayings. His long-awaited trial is set to begin in August, with many questions, including a possible motive, yet to be answered. The horrific case is the focus of Prime Video's upcoming four-part docuseries, One Night in Idaho: The College Murders, which premieres on July 11. (Watch the trailer below.) "Told in captivating, tense, and emotionally wrenching detail by only those involved in and affected by the crime, the series intimately explores this American tragedy and its continued impact and fallout," according to a Prime Video press release. The series centers on the families and friends of the victims, featuring exclusive interviews with Stacey and Jim Chapin (parents of Ethan Chapin) and Karen and Scott Laramie (parents of Madison Mogen). "There's this person out there who had just murdered our brother and he's still out there somewhere," recalled Hunter Chapin, Ethan Chapin's brother, of his and his sister Maizie Chapin's emotions following the killings, per the trailer. Kohberger was first arrested in December 2022 after he was allegedly linked to the crime scene by DNA recovered from a knife sheath, per a probable cause affidavit previously obtained by PEOPLE. Additionally, investigators traced the location of his cell phone and obtained surveillance footage that showed a car which appeared to be the same make and model as his driving to and from the scene of the crime. In a motion laying out his alibi, Kohberger's lawyer, Anne Taylor, said the suspect was out driving by himself on the night of the murders but that he did not kill the four victims. At the time of the murders, Kohberger was a Ph.D student in criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., about eight miles from the residence where the students were slain. He is charged with four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary. In May 2023, the judge ultimately entered a plea of "not guilty" for him. Kohberger's murder trial is set to get underway on Aug. 11 in Ada County after the defense successfully petitioned for a change of venue in the case. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death. Karen Laramie, Mogen's mother, has been open about her feelings regarding the trial being pushed back multiple times. "I don't have a lot of comments on that," Laramie said on the Today show in December 2024. "I would say that the legal system is not about the victims, and I'll leave it at that.' Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Sign up for for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases. The docuseries is directed by Liz Garbus and Matthew Galkin and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Skydance Television, Story Syndicate, James Patterson Entertainment, and Fairhaven.

2 killed after train hits SUV in Somerset County
Two women are dead after a CSX train collided with a vehicle at a train crossing in Rockwood Borough, Somerset County on Thursday morning. KDKA-TV spoke with residents in the area who said that the two train crossings in town have been problematic for years and they want something done about it. "I feel sick almost," said Ken Marker, who lives near where the crash happened. "I'm kind of anxious. I don't think it should have happened. It's just a shame." It all happened just before 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. An SUV found itself between the down gates of a railroad crossing on Bridge Street in Rockwood Borough as a CSX train was coming through. According to Pennsylvania State Police, both occupants of the SUV, an 85-year-old woman and a 67-year-old woman, died in the crash, one at the scene and one later pronounced dead at Conemaugh Hospital after being transported. One neighbor KDKA-TV spoke with said that something has to be done with the two train crossings that divide the town because they tie up residents and first responders. "You think something would be done like a bridge or an underpass, something for the safety of the residents in the town, because the train is constant, nonstop," said the neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous. While it is not exactly known what caused this crash to happen, Pennsylvania State Police are investigating.
