3. Live updates: Sen. Alex Padilla removed from news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Noem

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a news conference Thursday morning with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Noem was speaking in Los Angeles about recent ICE operations in the region when Padilla was removed from the room after saying, "You insist on exaggerating." At least two men approached Padilla, a Democrat, near a wall and removed him through doors near the rear of the room.

Noem continued speaking to the room of reporters and law enforcement officers.

In a hallway outside the room, Padilla told NBCLA, "We'll have plenty of time to take your questions after the press conference."

5. Noem: "We came here to liberate the city from...the burdensome leadership..."

That is a threat and outrageous. Planning to take over LA? The state? That's when Padilla spoke up and was immediately pushed out and attacked.

6. Trump's reason for arresting Newsom...

"Running for Governor"
