Sen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles
June 12, 2025
"I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary," Padilla said to Noem, which prompted several men to physically push him out of the press conference. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, of which Padilla is a member, also reacted to the situation on X, saying that it was "unacceptable."
