Senator Alex Padilla says he was “forced to the ground” and “handcuffed” simply for trying to ask a question during a live DHS press conference in Los Angeles. Video footage shows Padilla being removed while identifying himself, prompting outrage and calls for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. Padilla told MSNBC he was in the building for a scheduled briefing and peacefully sought answers about what he calls “increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions.”
Secretary Noem tells a different story, claiming a man stormed into the room, raised his voice, and didn’t identify himself until after being removed—though she later confirmed she spoke with Padilla to explain her side. Despite that, critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren say Noem should resign and are demanding an independent investigation. Online reactions are divided, with some backing Padilla, while others defend Noem and say her security detail was just doing its job.
