WASHINGTON — When videos first rocketed around the internet Thursday afternoon showing security officers forcibly removing Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla from a news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in California, senators in both parties were already gathered together for a long series of votes.

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed after he interrupted a Los Angeles news conference on immigration held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

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