Federal agents began shoving him out of the room as he said, &#8220;Hands off, hands off. I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary.&#8221; Once outside the room, the agents placed him on the ground and put him in handcuffs. His office said Padilla was in Los Angeles &#8220;exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government&#8217;s operations in Los Angeles and across California&#8221; and was in the building for a separate briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TriciaOhio\/status\/1933236074136170658\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> Secret Service agents &#8220;thought [Padilla] was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.&#8221; Noem told reporters that she and Padilla met after her press conference and had a &#8220;very productive&#8221; conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wished that he would have reached out and identified himself and let us know who he was and that he wanted to talk,&#8221; Noem said. &#8220;His approach, you know, was something that I don&#8217;t think was appropriate at all. But the conversation was great and we&#8217;re going to continue to communicate. We exchanged phone numbers and we&#8217;re going to continue to talk on we can communicate better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/06\/12\/3bb7b84e-88a0-4886-8efb-c72a48bf95b4\/thumbnail\/620x413\/30a62c1429a84ea70a4a1d313fd6dde5\/gettyimages-2219168700.jpg?v=d2f497bd9339ad99d2e0559414346698#\" alt=\"Sen.

Adam Schiff, Padilla&#8217;s fellow California senator, called on Noem to resign and said there should be an investigation into law enforcement&#8217;s conduct.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just outrageous and disgraceful and sickening to watch,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In the video, he&#8217;s identifying himself as Sen. Alex Padilla, so I have no doubt that they understood exactly who he was, and that makes it all the more troubling.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schiff added that Padilla has &#8220;every right to ask questions&#8221; and &#8220;to be treated the way he was, to be essentially brought to the ground and shackled after identifying himself, is a disgraceful action.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Schiff was one of a slew of Senate Democrats who took to the Senate floor following the incident. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon reiterated Schumer&#8217;s call for an investigation, saying he was &#8220;extremely outraged.&#8221; Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said &#8220;this to me is such an abuse of authority&#8221; and &#8220;there can be no justification.&#8221; Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said it was &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; and that Democrats and Republicans should condemn the way Padilla was treated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been here for more than 32 years,&#8221; Murray said. &#8220;I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes as I speak to both sides of this aisle about this horrendous incident that occurred.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut called it &#8220;an assault on the rule of law&#8221; and &#8220;an assault on our democracy.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said &#8220;there is no context that justifies this action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the stuff of dictatorships,&#8221; Schatz said. &#8220;It is actually happening. A United States senator was manhandled, shoved to the ground and cuffed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Nevada Democrat, likewise called on Noem to resign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Secretary Noem, you should resign,&#8221; Cortez Masto said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenCortezMasto\/status\/1933236289601671391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">post<\/a> on X. &#8220;You&#8217;re head of Homeland Security and you can&#8217;t take a question from a sitting U.S. Senator at a press conference? This level of abuse of power is shameful, outrageous, and is not doing anything to keep our homeland safe.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, brought up the incident during a House committee hearing on immigration, saying he was &#8220;horrified&#8221; and asking the Democratic governors before him, &#8220;tell me how you would feel if Marines were sent into your state or your senators were taken by the fists and pushed out of rooms?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What is going on in this country?&#8221; Khanna added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>California Gov. Gavin Newsom also shared an image of Padilla on X, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GavinNewsom\/status\/1933235335166898346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">saying<\/a>, &#8220;If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The outrage wasn&#8217;t only among Democrats. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, told reporters she had seen a clip of the incident, calling it &#8220;horrible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is shocking at every level. It&#8217;s not the America I know,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, told reporters that he had seen video of Padilla&#8217;s removal but wanted more information before commenting further on the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously we will have a response, but I want to get the facts and find out exactly what happened before we make any comments,&#8221; Thune said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Ibrahim  Aksoy<\/span> and <\/p>\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Alan  He<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/caitlin-yilek\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Caitlin  Yilek<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at CBSNews.com, based in Washington, D.C.
