"The Department of Homeland Security and the officers and the agencies and the departments in the military, people that are working on this operation will continue to sustain and increase our operations in this city.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kristi Noem, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary:
"I don’t even know the senator, he did not request a meeting with me or to speak with me. So when I leave here, I’ll have a conversation with him and visit and find out really what his concerns were. I think everybody in America would agree that that wasn’t appropriate."

STORYLINE:
Democratic California U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla was forcefully removed Thursday by security officers from a press conference being held on immigration by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“I’m Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” he shouted in a halting voice.
Once out of the room, he can be heard shouting, “Hands off!”
Noem says Padilla did not ask for a meeting with her and she criticized his interruption. “I think everybody in America would agree that that was inappropriate,” she said.
Padilla, the son of immigrants from Mexico, has been a harsh critic of President Donald Trump and his mass deportations agenda.
