Liveblog USA under Trump: Judge forbids Trump Reform of the US electoral system

The California Senator Alex Padilla was temporarily arrested in Los Angeles during an argument at a press conference of the Minister of Homeland, Kristi NoEM, in Los Angeles. Several US media report on this. A video provided by Padilla's office shows how the senator approaches the speaker, while Noem explains the efforts to combat immigration in Los Angeles. “I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions to the minister,” said the Democrat towards Noems. He tried to speak further when he was violently stopped by several men and brought into an adjoining room, where he “left hands away!” screamed.

Kristi Noem said that after the press conference she would have a conversation with Padilla. “I think everyone in America will agree that this was not appropriate,” she added to Padilla's earlier interruption. “I don't know the senator, he didn't ask for a meeting with me or to speak to me,” said Noem. Meanwhile, she herself was looking for a conversation with the Californian governor Gavin Newsom – according to her information without success. Shortly afterwards, he wrote on platform X that the senator was one of the most decent people he knows. “This is outrageous, dictatorial and shameful.” Trump and his people got out of control. That must end immediately.
