Sen. Alex Padilla criticized Kristi Noem after being escorted from a DHS news conference, questioning her awareness and response to his presence.

The California senator who was cuffed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s guards last week said there should be “serious questions” about her resignation. Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that Noem’s actions reflected the extremity of law enforcement’s responses under President Donald Trump’s administration.

Noem was in L.A. to address the ongoing protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Federal agents handcuffed Padilla after his removal.
