At a press conference in Los Angeles, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was addressing immigration enforcement when Democratic Senator Alex Padilla interrupted, attempting to ask a question about the policies. Federal agents, including Secret Service and FBI, forcibly removed Padilla from the room, pushing him to the ground and handcuffing him after he identified himself as a senator. Noem later claimed Padilla did not initially identify himself and described his actions as inappropriate, while Democrats condemned the incident as an overreach of authority. Padilla, who was not arrested or detained, later met with Noem for a discussion, though tensions remained high. The incident sparked outrage among Democrats, raising questions about what happened to “no one above the law,” a phrase Democrats like Joe Biden often use and which Padilla himself tweeted years ago.
