Video footage released by Padilla’s office shows the Democratic Senator approaching the podium during Noem’s remarks: “I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary,” he said before several men, including officers wearing FBI insignia, physically pushed him back. Moments later, Padilla was shoved to the floor face-down in a hallway outside the briefing room, handcuffed, and temporarily detained in an adjoining room.

“Sir! Sir! Hands off!” Padilla shouted during the scuffle, which unfolded in front of reporters and staff in a federal building in downtown Los Angeles, where protests have raged for nearly a week over a Trump-ordered crackdown involving ICE, National Guard troops, and U.S. Marines.

JFC that traitorous, dog-killing slag has no business staging a California photo op in the center of a fiasco she helped create.

She needs to be taken out to the gravel pit. She bites.

Notice how they only care once he says he's a senator.

He says right off the top that he's a senator and then they shoved him and handcuffed him. They didn't care at all that he was a Senator.
