Senator Removed During LA Immigration Protest
California Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed by security during a Los Angeles press conference led by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, after questioning President Trump’s immigration crackdowns.
Video footage shows Padilla identifying himself, despite Homeland Security claims he “lunged” at Noem.
The incident has sparked outrage from California leaders, including Governor Gavin.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is now calling for a full investigation.
The incident comes as anti-immigration protests escalate across Los Angeles.
