California Sen. Alex Padilla cuffed, forced out after interrupting DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s LA riots presser

California Sen. Alex Padilla was chucked out of a Los Angeles news briefing as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discussed the ongoing anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots that have engulfed the city — before being thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

The 52-year-old Democrat was hauled out of Noem’s briefing Thursday afternoon as she called California and LA leaders “socialists” who are working against the Trump administration.

“Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing,” Padilla said from the crowd, trying to cut Noem off mid-sentence.
