California senator gets roughed up by Noem's DHS thugs—for asking a question
California Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was manhandled by what appeared to be a law enforcement officer on Thursday after he attempted to ask Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a question at a news conference.
Video shows two men, one of whom appeared to be wearing a law enforcement badge, forcibly pushing Padilla out of the news conference where Noem was defending President Donald Trump's use of the military to quell protests in Los Angeles against the administration's ruthless deportation campaign.
Padilla—who identified himself as a U.S. senator as he asked about the administration’s immigration enforcement policies—was ultimately pushed out of the room and delivered to two FBI agents outside of the room where the news conference was being held.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Padilla was arrested, but video shows the Mexican American senator was handcuffed and forced to the ground.
