This is what hapened.
On June 12, 2025, Padilla was waiting at the Wilshire Federal Building for a scheduled briefing from General Gregory Guillot, which was delayed when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference in a nearby room on Los Angeles protests of ICE operations. He asked to attend and was seated behind press reporters and cameras. Several minutes into her statement, Noem blamed the California state government, and said the Trump administration would "liberate the city from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this mayor and this governor have placed on this country". At that point, Padilla walked towards the podium,
LOL. Watch the video, he wasn't "walking" he was pushing and shoving people out of the way.
saying "Madame Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating", whereupon he was forcefully removed by Secret Service agents.
USSS doesn't fuck around. They also aren't Noem but they are tasked with protecting her. If the took Padilla down it's because he represented a threat.
Which alone defeats your bullshit.
He said, "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary" while being pulled out of the room and into a hallway, where several agents held him face-down on the floor and he was handcuffed by FBI Police. He was only briefly detained, and spoke to reporters outside the building. Noem said she had a "great" conversation with Padilla after the incident but that his approach was "something that I don't think was appropriate at all".[60][61][62][63][64]
He said it AFTERWARD. Thus he didn't identify himself until it was over. So, again, you LIE about what actually happened.
