17:49Now PlayingSen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) delivered an emotional speech on the Senate floor about being forcefully removed from a DHS press conference in Los Angeles.
"You've seen the video. I was pushed and pulled, struggled to maintain my balance. I was forced to the ground. First on my knees and then flat on my chest, and was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, 'Why am I being detained?'" Padilla said. "Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this."
BACKSTORY:
The confrontation on June 12 was caught on video as dozens of journalists attended the Los Angeles press conference to hear DHS Secretary Kristi Noem discuss the recent raids and protests across Southern California.
Padilla appeared to interrupt Noem as she was speaking. She had not opened the press conference to questions at that time.
Padilla identified himself and started asking a question when two to three men started pushing him towards the door.
