Democrats asked the homeland security secretary to testify about Senator Alex Padilla’s removal from a news conference and Trump’s immigration enforcement.

Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and pinned to the floor by federal law enforcement officers on Thursday after he interrupted a Los Angeles press conference of Kristi Noem, who was discussing the Trump administration’s response to the ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations.

The pair weren’t best pleased with an intervention from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins regarding immigration raids.

Zero illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. in May, a 62,000 decrease from 12 months prior, according to Customs and Border Protection.

In her latest appearance, Noem pledged to continue moving forward with Trump's immigration raids despite the waves of unrest they are causing in different parts of the country.

Perhaps the secretary has forgotten what she presumably was taught in civics class. But Noem, 53, was governor of South Dakota. And before that she was a member of the US House of Representatives and a state legislator. So she knows about the election process. And we can only conclude that, at her news conference, she was talking without thinking.

Todd Lyons, acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, previewed the stepped-up review of visas on Monday.

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

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is promising to move forward with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
