Unruly agitator? Padilla isn't the one shoving people around throwing them to the ground.

Padilla isn't the one who has an army of goons randomly shooting people including harmless journalists and random bystanders.

Nope, that would be Noem's violent unruly agitating goons.

The LAPD works for Kristi Noem? I was unaware of that.

Do you think federal agents had any clue who the rando rushing the press conference was. That was a stupid grandstanding maneuver by whoever that politician is.

That's a really strange defense.

Indeed, it's the "don't you know who I am" defense. The FBI is trained to respond to and neutralize perceived threats. That's what they did here. He may have tried to identify himself as a U.S. Senator as be was being neutralized, but the entire situation could have been avoided if he had calmly and politely approached the FBI - with his Senate pin clearly visible - identified himself as a U.S. Senator, then determined how he could ask questions without being disruptive.

It would appear that his identity was verified after he was neutralized as a threat and removed from the vicinity of the protectee (Sec. Noem). He was then released.

I'm surprised that folks on this thread aren't aware that someone tried to assassinate President Trump twice - so potential threats to him and members of his administration are being taken VERY seriously. Some of you might claim that the Senator wasn't a threat, but this is no different than the Congressional Representatives showing up to ICE facilities and demanding to be let in to conduct oversight. Members of Congress can conduct their oversight through hearings and questioning witnesses. Sec. Noem has testified previously and will do so again.

HE WAS ESCORTED INTO THE PRESS CONFERENCE BY AN FBI AGENT.

All caps isn't going to get your point across any better than normal text.

Even if that is true, did Sec. Noem or her in-room security know he was attending? Did they know he was going to start shouting questions (at the very least, did he tell his escorts he was going to do that)? Is this normal behavior for a sitting U.S. Senator? Could he have called Sec. Noem's office and asked for a meeting to request that she clarify her remarks?

Senate oversight isn't conducted this way. He wanted to make a scene in front of the cameras. While he's trying to spin what happened, he should have handled things much differently than he did.

If you watch his statement he said he’s been calling and asking for meetings and she’s ignored him.

Next…

And, nobody believe the claims of Democrats anymore. They all lie. Just like Newsom got caught in a lie about not talking to Trump.
After Padilla went to the mic and lied about what he did, nobody believe him.

He said he spoke to Trump, he just said what they talked about was different than what Trump says. Trump claimed he spoke to Newsome AGAIN, which Newsome denies.

Wrong.

Steve Nikoui was reported to be yelling during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 7, 2024. According to accounts from Capitol Police and news reports, Nikoui shouted phrases such as “Abbey Gate” and “United States Marines” from the House Galleries, loud enough to interrupt the speech and prompt his removal and arrest.

Padilla was interrupting Noem. Nobody else was talking, yelling, shouting. You could hear him over her.

You got your video, congratulations.

Americans still want illegal immigrants deported.

And Biden arrested the father of a Marine killed by his administration’s incompetence.

DP. I feel like you’re missing the point so because they just profiled him as some rando Hispanic man and treated him like this that’s better to you? Also it’s not his fault they’re ignorant.

He actually identified himself as a Senator before speaking. They're just stifling anything resembling free speech.

You are blatantly lying.

He was shouting and rushing toward the podium before he identified himself.

How would anyone think that this random guy appearing unhinged is a senator?

Speaking isn’t “shouting”.

Stop lying. We can see the video.

He’s yelling over her while she’s got the floor.

He’s shouting over her as she is speaking.

So what? He was prevented from exercising his oversight rights as a sitting Senator. Cosplay Barbie and DHS has refused to answer questions or provide information.

LBH here if this was MTG being dragged out for doing the same, you would be going apesh--- crazy. And you'd be right to do so.

This is inexcusable, fascist behavior. Not to mention SHAMEFUL and unconstitutional. If you don't see that YOU are the problem in this country.

Trump's underwater on immigration. And even he is now saying he doesn't want farm and hotel works deported. So I guess we can check back in tomorrow to get your updated propaganda spin I suppose...

Really? Well put president Trump in that camp because now he wants SOME brown ass wipers to stay--specifically farm workers and those working in the "leisure" industry (whatever that is.) Expect him to make more exceptions when business leaders start to complain.

Interfering with a press conference hosted by a Cabinet Secretary is NOT exercising oversight any more than Congressional Representatives demanding entry to ICE facilities is oversight.

As for unconstitutional, please point to the exact phrase in the Constitution that supports disrupting a press conference - and arguably engaging in disorderly conduct (a crime).

📣 GOVERNOR NEWSOM & MAYOR BASS - You’re on the wrong side! A new poll shows the majority of Americans say Democrats don’t have a clue on immigration, and side with Trump!

@CNN
“Trump… knows what he’s doing so far is WORKING with the American electorate.”

At least 54% of Americans want Trump to deport illegals!

Deport, yes. Terrorize, no.

Trump is underwater on immigration because of how he is doing it.

Why are either of those cases not considered oversight? Please point to the exact phrases as to what constitutes oversight, what's allowed, what's not, etc.

Don't know what poll you're citing but this one says that most Americans oppose Trump's actions on immigration and deportations.

After more than four months in office, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows most Americans oppose his actions on immigration and deportations. Fifty-four percent of registered voters disapprove of “the way Donald Trump is handling immigration issues,” and only 43% approve. Fifty-two percent of independents disapprove, vs. 43% approve. Among Republicans, 87% approve, and 9% disapprove. Among Democrats, 4% approve of how Donald Trump handles immigration, and 95% disapprove.

Trump received lower marks on deportations. Fifty-six percent of registered voters disapprove of “the way Donald Trump is handling deportations,” and 40% approve. Fifty-seven percent of independents disapprove, vs. 38% approve. Among Republicans, 87% approve, and 9% disapprove. Among Democrats, 4% approve of the way Donald Trump is handling immigration, and 96% disapprove. Independents in the survey drive Trump’s approval ratings lower on deportations.

Oversight isn't conducted that way, correct. But no, he didn't want to make scene. He wanted to get answers from the DHS Secretary. About what the plan was and how she wanted to liberate LA from their elected government...

Oversight isn’t usually conducted this way, but this administration isn’t conducting anything the usual way either, including responding to legitimate oversight requests.
