With protests blanketing the United States over the immigration crackdown — which is to say nothing of “No Kings Day” on Saturday — boxer Ryan Garcia couldn’t sit back anymore as Los Angeles, his home, has been wracked with ICE raids, protests and upheaval.

Senator Alex Padilla was removed and briefly detained during a DHS press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to question Secretary Kristi Noem. The incident, captured on video, sparked outrage and accusations of abuse of power.

LOS ANGELES - U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-California) was physically shoved out of the room Thursday during a news conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles, where he was also briefly put into handcuffs by the FBI.

Comer's comments came after the Florida lawmaker repeatedly asked if the committee would subpoena DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

"There is no justification for the disgusting way Senator Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed by FBI agents today."

The incident represents a continuation of the muddied discourse over the Trump administration’s immigration policy.
