Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) addressed his forced removal from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Padilla said he was near the area where the press conference was held when he decided to attend because he had been asking the Department of Homeland Security for “more information and more answers” on its “increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions.”
