Democrat Senator Alex Padilla claims he was in the federal building waiting for a scheduled briefing with federal officials and General Guillot, when he heard DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was giving a press briefing nearby. Senator Padilla entered the room and attempted to rush toward Noem without announcing his intention; he was intercepted by security and forcibly removed from the room while he began saying who he was.
What is witnessed on the cameras is exactly what would happen to any random person who attempted to confront a cabinet secretary during press briefing. However, Padilla and his tribe are claiming victim status as an outcome of his attempted publicity stunt. WATCH:
According to CBS News, Secretary Noem was asked by a reporter about the incident and clarified that she does not know the senator and that he did not request a meeting with her. “When I leave here, I’ll have a conversation with him and find out really what his concerns were,” Noem said. “I think everyone in America would agree that wasn’t appropriate.”

Senator Padilla is not a well-known public figure and was likely unknown to many of the security officers and law enforcement in the room at the time of the incident.
VIA CBS – […] Padilla addressed the situation outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood, appearing to get emotional at times. He told reporters he was in the federal building waiting for a scheduled briefing with federal officials and General Guillot when he went to listen to Noem’s speech. He explained that he was trying to get information about DHS’s immigration enforcement actions around the LA area and the state.
After being forcibly removed from the room, Padilla said he was forced to the ground, handcuffed, but was not detained or arrested.
“If this how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they’re doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country,” he said.

I’m surprised that he didn’t shout, “Do you know who I am?” while this was unfolding. He clearly thinks he’s a very big deal. This is exactly how we have come to expect the crazy and dangerous left to behave.-tantrums, aggression, and elitism. The President was shot 11 months ago, and they expect to shove their way in to see Noem because of their political office? Nope.
Who he is?
He’s the guy on the news, before Israel bombed Iran.
Timing is everything!
I live in California and I wouldn’t recognize this NPC if he butted in line ahead of me at the CVS.
As they took him out of the room, he started saying “I’m US Senator Alex Padilla”, which anyone could’ve said. There was no reason security guards would say “oh, gee, sorry Senator” to a man acting crazy.
Looks and talks like a real bully. He went in there wanting to cause this.
You can believe he did it for campaign contributions from other brain dead Democrats
He does look like he had cranial wrapping as an infant.
As if he could afford the loss of cranial volume.
I live in CA, and Padilla is a Gila Monster politician! Hides in the sand waiting to bite!
Yep they are always the victims. Please hold on while I get out my rather small violin.
Staged…..totally….expect more of same.
““If this how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they’re doing to farm workers…”
Anyone, at least CTH readers, can see from this statement that this incident was a stunt ahead of the planned riots across the country to incite fear and emotions.
Emotion being the fuel of riots and the Democommunist Party.
Just a “senator with a question” following all normal protocols…lol.
How about when he was steady on his knees and they told him to put his hands behind his back and, as soon as someone touched him he laid down and then collapsed as if she was shoved on the floor. He must’ve bombed out in Hollywood.
FAFO.. then play the victim.. GTFO
So I guess anyone can now just slam through the door of Padilla’s office, get up in his face, screech at him, and he’s good with that? Of course not. 🤡🤡🤡
He looked like illegal thug. Was there for another meeting and decided to crash the news conference. He is a nobody, unknown, acting like a Jack Ruby on Oswald. He was treated appropriately.
He was actually at the Congressional baseball game the night prior and flew out early to California. Guy had an agenda. Hey. Buddy, stay in DC and do your job!
This performance is likely not just for whipping up the base for the weekend, but probably also serves to create sympathy for the Congresswoman that received 3 indictments for her stunt at another ICE facility. He’s just a stunt boy for the democrats.
The loon thought she was a LA Police squad car.
Sundance is correct. The people in congress live in a bubble of their own making and choice. Anyone reading this here is more qualified to be a member of the US congress. Humility, wisdom, intelligence and integrity are lacking in our lawmakers.
Radical Dem fools acting crazy,
Great security!!! They are doing their job carrying out their duties as should. This person barges into a room unannounced starts ranting out illegals detained. Its his political grand standing. He does not serve his voter constituents. He should be censured!!!
Has anyone found video footage of Padilla actually entering the room? If so, could you respond with the link? So far I have not managed to find any footage that actually shows him entering. For all we know he was in the room the whole time and just started speaking from where he was standing.
And in all that time, he never produced an ID of any kind? Dressed like a skulker, acting a bit unhinged. Nope – this is pure communist theatrics. ‘Let me show you how had things are….’. – we’ve seen all before. The Security guys were outstanding. Perfect control, perfect calm behavior.
Another Democrat-Media stunt planned to spin anti-Trump propaganda.
I have often wondered what a fool looks like, now I know. Rushing the stage where the Secretary of Homeland Security is speaking and expecting to be allowed to reach her.
Another virtue-signaling, emoting lib. Cory Booker must be seething. The fight to be Fartacus is not over! Maybe they can wrestle for the title and Lindsey Graham can referee.
Now now. Be nice to Senator Gory Booger a/k/a Turdicus.
He just needs another diaper change, that’s all.
So this pondscum of a Senator makes a clear attempt to reach the podium & without showing any ID of any kind gets taken down & out by the security assigned to the Secretary.
Well exactly what else was Security supposed to do under the circumstances??
This GB POS KNOWS he is 1 large pile of #2 & there is simply no bloviating, -0- pontificating this lardass Leftist Latino can do to change the actual video of the event.
Sic semper los Leftist losers!!
And a side note to Senator Gory Booger a/k/a Turdicus: SCREW YOU TOO!! You weren’t there & are in no position to offer your ignorant comments on same. You are as worthless as your Latino Loser colleague.
It’s going to take some time to re-train the elite totalitarians. They are not used to obeying the law, much less exhibiting civilized behavior.
This totalitarian announced that he was a Senator and proceeded to perform like a bully fool. No one knew who he was. He was actually treated better than he deserved.
