"On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revisited her infamous encounter with Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) and claimed that the senator was manhandled because he had attacked her. Back in June, Noem held a press conference in Los Angeles as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted raids across the region, where President Donald Trump had also deployed the National Guard."
"I'm Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary, he said at the time, as security staffers grabbed him and escorted him out of the room. Because the fact of the matter of is, a half-a-dozen violent criminals, that you're rotating on your on your HANDS OFF! Agents forced Padilla to the ground in a hallway, where he was handcuffed."
"Do you think that might lead to people attacking ICE officers? Watters asked. Just kind of that performance by a public official? You know, months later, you see ICE agents under assault. No, you should see the conversations outside, Noem replied. They're threatening their lives. They're saying molotovs melt ice. They're talking about using weapons of destruction against our officers. And then these politicians stand up and say, Well, we just need to talk some more.' Watch above."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asserted that Senator Alex Padilla was manhandled because he attacked her during a June Los Angeles press conference held amid ICE raids and a National Guard deployment. Padilla approached the secretary saying he had questions, and security staffers grabbed and escorted him out; agents later forced him to the ground and handcuffed him in a hallway. Noem told Jesse Watters that Padilla 'absolutely did storm at me' and claimed he hit the ground because he attacked her. Noem raised concerns about threats against ICE officers, citing online talk of 'molotovs melt ice' and weapons of destruction while criticizing politicians who call for more discussion.
