Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a DHS press conference by federal agents while trying to ask questions, leading to a surreal intervention by Cory Lewandowski. Padilla, identified himself and attempted to intervene during Secretary Noem's remarks about ICE raids, only to be accused of not identifying himself and detained briefly. The incident raised partisan tensions, with Republicans claiming Padilla disrupted the event, while he maintained he was addressing executive overreach. Lewandowski's unexpected involvement in resolving the situation underscored the chaotic dynamic between politics and enforcement agencies.
