Sen. Padilla on Forcible Removal from DHS Press Conference

Los Angeles, CA…The Office of U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee, released the following statement after Padilla was forcibly removed from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s press conference while performing Congressional oversight in Los Angeles:

“Senator Padilla is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations in Los Angeles and across California. He was in the federal building to receive a briefing with General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference.

    “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine, what they’re doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country.” -Senator Padilla

      That’s how the Secret Service should respond. This showboat broke into a press conference lunged forward shouting as she was informing g the press what was going g on with ICE and Homeland Security, and the Secret Service stopped the aggressive person.
      There’s a video of his actions and he got what he wanted, a ” look at me, I was treated like a criminal” . And according to the overwhelming majority of people who have seen this, Senator Padilla is being crucified for his political stunt. So suck it up snowflake.
      By the way, an appointee of Governor Walz has killed two democrats and seriously wounder two others. This is what your political party is so famous for, YOUR HATRED AND VIOLENCE.

      Here’s the video of the dip shit from Califorina, forcefully trying to rush to Noem and interrupt her press conference. No one else is out of line but a democrat politicians, who tried to rush forward shouting, and you can not hear him say who he was as he rushed her.
      Great job to our Secret Service agents, they sure are much better now with a New Leader for America.

      Maybe it’s time for the left to quit calling to get in the face of Republican law makers, or their Antifa riots like they’re doing in LA, or CA senators to barge into a press conference yelling questions while lunging towards the speaker, or Walz telling everyone to really start hounding our President and not let up, of the name calling like Nazis, or left politicians saying they’d like to take Trump out, after all, the left has tried to assassinate him twice now, and your party is responsible for the 4 US sitting presidents that have been murdered in our History, along with the shooting of a congress member at a softball game, and another assassination attempt of a Supreme Court Justice, violent riots, looting and burning, and the overwhelming shootings all across America.
      Lighten up for a change.

      Have a nice day.

    The officers were only acting on their training. They saw a brown man speak up for his community and they escorted him from the room.

    Noem’s statement-
    “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country,” she said, shortly before Padilla could be heard identifying himself as a senator and saying he had questions for the secretary.

    Padilla was pushed out of the room by officials before he could get questions in. Noem continued with her remarks.

    Noem after said “I don’t know him ”

    Padillia did announce himself, as the video shows, and did not push towards Noem as she said in her statement.

    Liberate this country ?

    Is this the end of Democracy ?

    maga will liberate this country?

    From what? whom ?

    Anyone not maga, white, christian ?

    This is open authoritarian fascism .

    Trump now realizing that losing farm laborers, day laborers, cooks and dishwashers just might hurt the economy. Maybe is a stable genius.

    For a president to use social media to inform a state governor that he intends to take control of the states national guard and deploy them in one of the states cities is NOT a acceptable way to run a country. Those types of communication need to he on private secure government equipment by phone or email. In the case of Trump, it should he email or recorded conversations because he is a habitual liar and the recipient needs proof of the conversation.

      For a Governor and a mayor to do nothing is totally unacceptable. Kind of like doing nothing while LA communities burn to the ground.

    Our dictator is out to destroy democrats, Latino/non white people, and California. His paternal grand parents are rolling over in their graves seeing their grandson try to turn the country they fled to to get away into the country the fled from. You got it. They fled Germany and Hitler. With his big army parade today, he will be waving with all the attention, just like Hitler while all his MAGATS clap.

    I don’t remember Biden sending in TROOPS to liberate a red city from its elected government, do you? Seems like you would have found that rather upsetting

        Hey Moron above^^^ Apparently you are unaware of the cuts to the FBI and its investigative abilities. So the “KILL TRUMP NOW” post will stay just like it is. Anonymous.
        FOX didn’t tell you onair about cuts to the FBI’s budget, so apparently you don’t know about them. Watch/read something besides FOX Jethroe, you might learn something.

        P.S. Your’e wifes “bare behind” smiled at me last week. Just before I went in!!!!!!
