A statement from Padilla's office said he will call on his Democratic and Republican colleagues and on the American people to speak up about what he calls President Trump's "abuse of power," following the deployment of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to L.A. after protests in the city turned violent.
Noem was discussing what she called the "burdensome leadership" of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, when Padilla attempted to interrupt her to ask a question.
After the incident, Padilla addressed the media outside, saying he was trying to get information from Noem about DHS's immigration actions around the L.A. area and the state.
After her news conference, Noem told reporters that she "wished that [Padilla] would have reached out and identified himself and let us know who he was and that he wanted to talk." Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino wrote on X that Padilla was not wearing a security pin at the time of the incident and "physically resisted law enforcement." Padilla has pushed back against those claims and noted that, in addition to identifying himself, he was wearing a polo shirt with a U.S. Senate logo on the chest.
