U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was detained and handcuffed by regulation enforcement after heckling DHS Secretary Kristi Noem at a press briefing relating to the continuing Los Angeles riots — and there is dramatic video of the incident.
Take a look at the clip … the California Democrat shouts he has questions for Noem, whereas making an attempt to make some extent a few “half a dozen violent criminals” as he is being forcefully pushed from the room by a number of males.
He is delivered to 2 FBI officers who have been aiding the Secret Service — who have been defending Noem, regulation enforcement sources inform TMZ. Padilla seems to withstand when requested to place his fingers behind his again — prompting officers to drive him practically face-down to the bottom whereas they handcuff him.
The Division of Homeland Safety posted a scathing assertion in regards to the state of affairs, accusing him of selecting “disrespectful political theatre” to interrupt a dwell press convention.

Padilla’s workplace launched a press release saying the senator “was in the federal building to receive a briefing with [U.S. Air Force] General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference. He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information.”
