California’s U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other Trump administration officials Thursday morning. “I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” the Democratic senator said as he was being pushed out of the room by multiple people.

Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was briefly detained last week after being forcibly removed from a news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) worries about what will happen to people who question the Trump administration, who aren’t senators, and when the cameras are off. His comments came just days after he was forcibly removed from a room for shouting and disrupting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem‘s press conference.
