💨 Abstract

After Senator Alex Padilla interrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a LA press conference, he was abruptly removed, handcuffed, and teenage out of the room. The DHS defended the actions, stating agents acted appropriately. Padilla expressed concerns over the administration's tactics if it can happen to an official. California Governor Newsom immediately condemned the incident & described it as 'outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.'
