During a press conference led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on June 12, 2025, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was violently removed by law enforcement. The incident occurred after Padilla attempted to ask questions regarding protests related to President Trump's immigration policies. Various lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, condemned the actions taken against Padilla, asserting that his behavior was in line with his duties as a senator and criticizing the handling of the situation by the Trump administration.
I just saw something that sickened my stomach—the manhandling of a United States senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on.
Senator Padilla was elected by the people of California to represent their communities, which includes asking the tough questions. This administration should be ashamed.
