U.S. immigration officials conducted a 'worksite enforcement action' Tuesday in Madison, three days after their boss, Kristi Noem, was subjected to a protest in the same South Dakota city.
The media office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a written statement that the agency's action was at Manitou Equipment America and Global Polymer Industries, 'in response to information or allegations received by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.'
The statement said ICE enforces business compliance with federal employment eligibility requirements and has the responsibility to conduct worksite enforcement initiatives 'targeting employers who violate employment laws.'
'During these operations, any alien determined to be in violation of U.S. immigration laws may be subject to arrest, detention, and, if ordered removed by an immigration judge or other authority, subject to removal from the United States,' the statement said.
The statement did not say how many were arrested in Madison, but said 'those arrested during the enforcement action at Manitou Equipment America and Global Polymer Industries have been presented for Federal prosecution for violations of U.S. law or were placed into deportation proceedings.'
Noem delivered the commencement address and received an honorary degree Saturday at Dakota State University in Madison. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the graduation ceremony to protest the actions of Noem and the Department of Homeland Security that she leads, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE.

California U.S. Senator Alex Padilla Manhandled Out of DHS Secretary L.A. Presser, Cuffed
California U.S. Senator Alex Padilla Manhandled Out of DHS Secretary L.A. Presser, Cuffed originally appeared on L.A. Mag. United States Senator Alex Padilla was manhandled out of a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday in Los Angeles and hurled to the floor by federal agents who handcuffed him after he yelled out: "I have questions."Padilla, the son of Mexican immigrants who grew up in the San Fernando Valley, showed up as Noem was engaged in a press conference that ratcheted up rhetoric targeting Democratic leaders of Los Angeles, in particular Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom. As she spoke, Padilla identified himself and said "I have questions for the secretary." Before he could continue, the senator was flanked by agents in plainclothes and hustled out into the hallway where he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed by FBI agents. The encounter sparked outrage from Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom who posted on X: "If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you." The incident took place as Noem took aim at demonstrators who have engaged in violence against law enforcement and extensive vandalism that had marred much of DTLA including public buildings, parks, and the the Japanese community of Little Tokyo. She also ratcheted up the ugly rhetoric that continues to be leveled at Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. 'We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this Governor Newsom and this mayor placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city,'' Noem said. She later said that she called Padilla, who was not charged, and had a conversation. "After he interrupted our press conference with law enforcement, I met with Senator Padilla for 15 minutes," she wrote on X. "We probably disagree on 90% of the topics but we agreed to exchanged phone numbers and we will continue to talk—that is the way it should be in this country."That explanation was not enough for Democratic leaders who took to the floor of the U.S. Senate on Capitol Hill to express their outrage. Among the lawmakers who made a statement was Cory Booker, the U.S. Senator from New Jersey. "A United States Senator in his own see him being thrown to the ground," Booker said. "This to me is such an abuse of authority, it is a violent act, and there can be no justification of seeing a senator forced to their knees, laid flat on the ground, their hands twisted behind their back, and being put into restraints." Padilla was not arrested in the incident. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

At least four migrants escape New Jersey ICE detention center: sources
At least four migrant detainees broke out of a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark where a riot broke out among inmates who attempted to take over the facility, according to sources and reports. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents stand near a gate as they watch protestors at a demonstration in Elizabeth, New Jersey, May 7, 2025, outside Delaney Hall, a newly converted immigrant detention centre.

A manhunt is currently underway for the escaped detainees who were last seen running near Turnpike 78 and Delancey Street in Newark, according to the local publication. Earlier Thursday, three-dozen people held a protest outside Delaney Hall, which has been an inflection point in the political debate over ICE with several House Democrats allegedly breaking into the facility last month.

Padilla hopes people feel 'outrage' over his forcible removal and detainment
California Sen. Alex Padilla hopes people will feel the same outrage he felt after being forcibly removed from a news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday. Video of the incident showed Padilla trying to walk up to Noem while she was speaking at a podium during the conference in Los Angeles. Padilla simultaneously attempted to shout over Noem, but law enforcement stepped in and forcefully stopped Padilla's advance. Padilla was eventually taken to the ground and handcuffed, the video showed. He gave emotional remarks afterward to reporters. In his first solo interview since his removal, Padilla told MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff that he has been doing okay but "most importantly" hopes people will understand the "outrage" behind the event. Kristi Noem Suspects 'Completely Inappropriate' Democratic Senator 'Wanted The Scene' "I think most importantly is the outrage that I hope people feel," Padilla said on "The Beat with Ari Melber." "If this can happen to a United States Senator for having the audacity to ask a question of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the same questions and requests for information that we've had, not just for the last week or so for the activity in Los Angeles, but since the beginning of the administration, then just imagine what can happen to anybody in the country, for that matter." Read On The Fox News App He insisted that there was no "lunging" towards Noem and that he only "raised [his] voice" to ask Noem a question. Padilla confirmed that he was handcuffed and detained before being released a few minutes later and offered a meeting with Noem. Padilla argued that, despite speaking with Noem, he still didn't receive the answer to his questions. "You think she might have started the meeting with an apology for what happened. Of course not," Padilla said. 'Spectacle Of Himself': Senate Republicans Blast Alex Padilla After His Forcible Removal From Dhs Presser In a statement to Fox News, the White House attacked Padilla for interrupting the press conference for what it called a "theater-kid stunt." "Padilla stormed a press conference without wearing his Senate pin or previously identifying himself to security, yelled and lunged toward Secretary Noem," White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson said. "Padilla didn't want answers; he wanted attention. Padilla embarrassed himself and his constituents with this immature, theater-kid stunt, but it's telling that Democrats are more riled up about Padilla than they are about the violent riots and assaults on law enforcement in LA."Original article source: Padilla hopes people feel 'outrage' over his forcible removal and detainment
