Trump Makes Schiff Cry
LOS ANGELES, CA – Tensions boiled over in liberal California this week when Democrat Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly restrained, handcuffed, and removed from a live Homeland Security press conference after aggressively interrupting Secretary Kristi Noem.
The shocking incident unfolded as Secretary Noem addressed the media about the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration and rising civil unrest in Los Angeles. Padilla reportedly attempted to storm the front of the stage without proper identification, drawing a rapid response from Secret Service agents who tackled and restrained him on the spot.
Padilla’s dramatic outburst comes amid escalating protests in Los Angeles, triggered by President Trump’s bold decision to deploy U.S. Marines and National Guard forces to restore law and order in Democrat-controlled areas riddled with violent unrest and open defiance of federal immigration law.
Sen. Adam Schiff, appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, lashed out at law enforcement and defended Padilla’s actions.
“To see him mistreated like that — tackled and shackled — in the middle of this chaos is absolutely atrocious,” Schiff said. “He had every right to be there.”
But critics say the footage tells a different story. DHS officials confirmed that Padilla entered the restricted area without wearing his Senate pin and failed to follow standard security protocol before “lunging toward” Secretary Noem during her remarks.
“Senator Padilla chose political theater over professionalism,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin. “He disrupted a secured event, failed to identify himself properly, and put security personnel in an impossible situation.”
The press conference was part of the Trump administration’s ongoing mission to restore peace in Los Angeles, where sanctuary policies and weak local leadership have led to surging illegal immigration, gang violence, and public disorder.
Despite backlash from California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, President Trump has remained unwavering. “We will protect American communities. We will not back down,” he said earlier this week.
A federal appeals court on Thursday sided with the administration, temporarily blocking an activist judge’s order that would have forced President Trump to withdraw the National Guard. The decision allows federal troops to remain on the ground and support ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.
As the Biden-era chaos is steadily being cleaned up, the clear contrast between President Trump’s leadership and the lawlessness of left-wing cities is once again on full display.
