Harsh intervention by FBI against senator: Pinned to the ground and handcuffed behind the back
California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla, who attempted to ask a question during a press conference held by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles, was removed from the room through the back door by at least 3 FBI agents.
Noem held a press conference regarding the ICE operations in Los Angeles, which have dominated the national agenda due to anti-ICE protests.
While Noem was continuing her speech, California Senator Alex Padilla, who wanted to ask a question, was not permitted to speak or pose his question.
Despite Padilla calling out, "I am a Senator and I have a question for the Secretary," he was removed from the room through the back door by at least 3 FBI agents.
In the footage that also surfaced on social media, Padilla was seen shouting at the officers outside the room, saying, "Get your hands off me," and being pushed away from behind despite raising his hands in the air.
