Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday after trying to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference related to immigration.
“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 room. It was unclear who the men were, as several were dressed in plain clothes.
Padilla’s office shared a video of the incident with NBC News. The video shows Padilla being taken into a hallway outside and pushed face forward onto the ground as officers with FBI-identifying vests told the senator to put his hands behind his back. The officers then handcuffed him.
Is there even a legitimate reason to have plainclothes security to arrest people inside the LA FBI headquarters? Surely they have plenty of uniformed officers onsite.
The only reason I can think of is to send a message
Whatever gathering Puppy Killer was addressing…
Pretty certain “news conference” is a misnomer.
Every gathering she addresses should more properly be designated a Propaganda Conference…
