LIVE: Sen. Padilla speaks on Senate floor after his forcible removal from DHS Press Conference
Watch live coverage as Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) speaks on the Senate floor about being forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles last Thursday after he tried to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a media event related to immigration. Trump insisted that his administration would target only violent criminals but his increasingly cruel immigration crackdown shows that couldn't be further from the truth. pic.twitter.com/XaeS5zMPxC — Alex Padilla (@AlexPadilla4CA) June 16, 2025 I am leading all Senate Democrats in demanding that Trump remove all deployed military forces from Los Angeles. Respect for our Constitution, servicemembers and civilian law enforcement demands nothing less. https://t.co/Ux4zZVhC8i — Alex Padilla (@AlexPadilla4CA) June 16, 2025
