Sen. Alex Padilla, a California Democrat, was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday morning.
In a video posted to social media by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Padilla can be seen attempting to walk toward the lectern in the middle of a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Three different men who appear to be federal agents, including one wearing an FBI vest, then grab him and push him backward.
At one point, Padilla is pushed up against a wall near reporters before being pushed out of the conference room.
