Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and pinned to the floor by federal law enforcement officers on Thursday after he interrupted a Los Angeles press conference of Kristi Noem, who was discussing the Trump administration’s response to the ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations.
“We are not going away,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem declared. “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”
