Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles turned chaotic on Thursday when California Senator Alex Padilla was forcefully removed from the venue after repeatedly disrupting the event. The briefing, which centered on the city’s escalating unrest linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, took a dramatic turn when Padilla clashed with Noem over her remarks.
As Noem criticized California’s leadership, accusing them of undermining federal efforts and aligning with “socialist” ideologies, Padilla interrupted loudly from the crowd. “Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing,” he shouted, attempting to speak over her.
