Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) issued a warning Tuesday that the United States had entered “uncharted territory” after he was handcuffed and forcibly removed from a homeland security press conference last week in Los Angeles.
The California senator took to the Senate floor to defend why he attended the Homeland Security news conference, saying he was seeking answers about the Trump administration’s decision to deploy the military to Los Angeles in response to protests after deportation officials targeted undocumented workers at Home Depot.
