June 12, 2025 - After attempting to ask a question during DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles, California Senator Alex Padilla, the son of Mexican immigrants, was forcibly removed from the room, pushed to the floor, and handcuffed by Secret Service and FBI agents.

How far we've come since then, because of Sen. Padilla and everyone who fought back.
In a viral video of the incident, Padilla can be heard identifying himself as a senator and saying he had a question for the secretary as the agents pushed him from the room.
Padilla was also wearing a polo shirt with the words "United States Senate."
Noem later falsely stated that Padilla had not identified himself, and House Speaker Mike Johnson called for Padilla to be censured.

"If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the DHS responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers throughout the LA community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable," Padilla later told reporters.
