Un senador demócrata interrumpió a una funcionaria de Trump cuando hablaba de las redadas contra inmigrantes: lo sacaron esposado

Son horas de alta tensión en Los Angeles, la segunda ciudad en importancia de los Estados Unidos, donde en las últimas horas se suscitan protestas contra las políticas migratorias del gobierno de Donald Trump. Uno de los últimos chispazos lo protagonizaron el senador demócrata Alex Padilla y la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional, Kristi Noem. Ella hablaba sobre los operativos oficiales contra las manifestaciones y él la interrumpió. Apenas alcanzó a presentarse: guardias de seguridad lo sacaron de la sala y lo esposaron.
El incidente despertó una ola de reacciones. «Es indignante, dictatorial y vergonzoso«, dijo al respecto el gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, del progresismo demócrata. Y la exvicepresidenta Kamala Karris se sumó a la indignación: «Es un abuso de poder vergonzoso».
En Los Angeles parece que la escalada de la tensión no hace más que aumentar vertiginosamente, con coletazos políticos que no ayudan a mermar el toque de queda que rigió en los últimos días en la ciudad californiana y que es alimentado desde otros puntos del país. A las protestas contra las redadas de las autoridades contra migrantes en varias ciudades, como la propia cabecera de California o como Nueva York, Chicago o Filadelfia, se sumó una nueva escaramuza aunque de tinte político.
Este jueves Kristi Noem, la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional del gabinete de Donald Trump, ofrecía una conferencia de prensa en Los Angeles para detallar cómo son los operativos de despliegue policial y militar que realiza el gobierno de Trump. Entonces fue interrumpida por un hombre. «Soy el senador Alex Padilla (Partido Demócrata). Tengo preguntas para la secretaria (Noem)», alcanzó a decir, antes de que dos guardias de seguridad lo empujaran hacia fuera de la sala de prensa.
Según afirmó más tarde la secretaria Noem, el senador Padilla no había solicitado ni se le había asignado ninguna reunión, ni con ella ni con nadie de esa área gubernamental. «Todos en Estados Unidos estarían de acuerdo en que eso fue inapropiado», dijo Noem, luego del altercado.
Mientras, fuera de la sala de prensa, Padilla era retenido y esposado por agentes de seguridad, que finalmente lo liberaron 15 minutos más tarde.
Según trascendió desde la Secretaría de Seguridad Nacional, Noem recibió a Padilla luego de su detención. La misma número dos de Noem, la subsecretaria Tricia McLaughlin calificó en su cuenta de X la interrupción como una «actuación política irrespetuosa», ya que «interrumpió una conferencia de prensa en vivo sin haberse antes identificado ni portar su insignia oficial de senador».
«Se le ordenó repetidamente que retrocediera y no cumplió las reiteradas órdenes de los oficiales que retrocediera y no cumplió con las repetidas órdenes de los oficiales. El Servicio Secreto pensó que era un atacante y los oficiales actuaron apropiadamente», avanzó McLaughlin.
Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Padilla es un ingeniero mexicanoestadounidense cuyos padres Santos y Lupe, migraron a Estados Unidos antes de conocerse. Santos era cocinero en un local de cómida rápida, mientras que su madre era ama de casa.
«Estuve aquí pacíficamente, dije que tenía una pregunta, empecé a realizar la pregunta y fui casi inmediatamente sacado por la fuerza de la sala, me tiraron al suelo y me esposaron. No fui arrestado ni detenido. Si así es como este gobierno responde a un senador con una pregunta…», explicó Padilla su intervención de este jueves.
El gobernador californiano, Gavin Newsom, calificó duramente la situación que vivió el senador republicano. «Es uno de las personas más decentes. Eso fue indignante, dictatorial y vergonzoso. Trump y sus fuerzas de choque están fuera de control, y eso debe terminar», escribió en X. Se plegó al razonamiento del senador: «Si son capaces de esposar a un senador estadounidense por preguntar, imaginen lo que harían con ustedes».
«Lo tiraron al suelo, lo maltrataron de nuevo, lo bajaron brutalmente y lo esposaron. Es repugnante. Esto no es lo que hacen las democracias», apuntó el líder de la minoría demócrata en el Senado estadounidense, Charles Schumer.
La exvicepresidenta Kamala Harris también criticó la retención de Padilla: «Vergonzoso y asombroso abuso de poder».

La relación de Harris y Newsom con Padilla es muy estrecha. El gobernador de California lo designó como reemplazante de Harris cuando ella se ocupó de la vicepresidencia en la gestión de Joe Biden. En ese rol, Padilla pronunció un emotivo discurso en marzo de 2021.
«Mi nombre es Alex Padilla y soy el hijo de Santos y Lupe Padilla«, fueron las primeras palabras de su discurso en el Senado de los Estados Unidos.
En esa ocasión impulsó una reforma del proceso de inmigración. Su primer proyecto impulsaba el otorgamiento de la ciudadanía a cerca de 5 millones de inmigrantes. Se llamaba Ley de Ciudadanía para Trabajadores Esenciales.

Rubio slams UNRWA as a ‘subsidiary of Hamas,’ vows it will not ‘play any role’ in delivering aid to Gaza

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who arrived in Israel shortly after Vice President JD Vance left for Washington, railed against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) amid the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
«UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it,» Rubio said when asked about whether the controversial agency would assist in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. «The United Nations is here. They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA. UNRWA became a subsidiary of Hamas.»
UNRWA demanded in a post on X that it be allowed to do work in Gaza.
«As the largest U.N. agency operating in the Gaza Strip, by far, UNRWA has an unparalleled logistical network, longstanding trust from the community, managing the distribution of supplies based on vulnerability and clear criteria. Our teams are ready, inside and outside Gaza. Let us work,» the agency wrote.

On Oct. 17, days after world leaders backed a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) opened a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), which is where Rubio spoke on Friday.
The CMCC is located in southern Israel and will serve as the main hub for Gaza stabilization efforts. It will also oversee implementation of the ceasefire agreement and has an operations floor designed to track real-time developments in Gaza.
During the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) last month, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres spoke at a meeting in support of UNRWA, saying that the agency has «made invaluable contributions to development, human rights, humanitarian action, and peace and security, including for Israel.»
«UNRWA is vital to any prospects for peace and stability in the region,» Guterres added.

US MILITARY TO OVERSEE NEXT PHASE OF PEACE DEAL FROM COORDINATION BASE IN ISRAEL
However, the U.S. and Israel have taken hard stances against the agency, particularly in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
President Donald Trump in February reaffirmed the U.S.’s commitment to not fund UNRWA.
In the executive order, Trump said that «UNRWA has reportedly been infiltrated by members of groups long designated by the Secretary of State as foreign terrorist organizations, and UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.»

UNRWA SCHOOLS ‘HIJACKED BY HAMAS,’ WATCHDOG REPORT WARNS
In April 2025, when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) demanded Israel work with UNRWA, Washington backed Jerusalem, saying it was under no obligation to work with the agency and had «ample grounds to question UNRWA’s impartiality.»
UNRWA announced in August 2024 the end of an investigation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services into whether its staff participated in the attacks, as Israel claimed. Following the probe, which looked into 19 UNRWA staff members, nine staff members were fired over evidence that «could indicate» they were involved in the attacks.
The investigation found one case in which there was no evidence to confirm the staffer’s involvement and nine other cases in which «the evidence obtained by OIOS was insufficient» to prove their participation, according to UNRWA.

Johnson shuts down House to pressure Schumer as government standstill nears one month

Sen. Lankford proposes bill to avoid government shutdowns
Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram and Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., join ‘The Faulkner Focus’ to discuss the failed vote to pay federal workers amid the government shutdown as they enter their first week without pay.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has canceled votes in the House of Representatives for a fourth straight week as the government shutdown shows no signs of ending.
Johnson’s move is a part of his continued pressure strategy on Senate Democrats and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who have sunk the GOP’s federal funding plan 12 times since Sept. 19, when the House passed the measure.
Sept. 19 was also the last day the House was in session, meaning lawmakers have been largely in their home districts for over a month.
Republicans are pushing a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 spending levels through Nov. 21 — called a continuing resolution (CR) — aimed at giving congressional negotiators time to strike a longer-term deal for FY2026.

Democrats, furious at being sidelined in federal funding discussions, have been withholding their support for any spending bill that does not also extend COVID-19 pandemic-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies that are due to expire at the end of this year.
Johnson’s decision was made public on Friday afternoon during a brief pro forma session in the House. Under rules dictated by the Constitution, the chamber must meet for brief periods every few days called «pro forma» sessions to ensure continuity, even if there are no formal legislative matters at hand.
Pro forma sessions can also be opportunities for lawmakers to give brief speeches or introduce legislation that they otherwise would not have.
Democrats have criticized Johnson’s decision, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., telling reporters that House Republicans have been «on vacation for the last four weeks.»

Republicans, however, have largely stayed united behind Johnson as the shutdown continues.
«I mean, if all of a sudden the Senate wants to pass a clean CR, I would imagine there are some options on the table that we can pursue to get things back on track,» said Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., who presided over the House chamber on Friday.
«I would defer, ultimately, to [leadership’s] decisions for the schedule. But right now, I don’t see any sign that we need to change what has been on the counter.»
But there have been several notable defections. Both Reps. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., have made their criticism of Johnson’s strategy known publicly for weeks.
«I believe very strongly that it’s the wrong decision,» Kiley told MSNBC earlier this week, adding House lawmakers were not «doing all the things we’re supposed to be doing» aside from figuring out how to end the shutdown.

Multiple House lawmakers have also raised concerns about being out of session on private weekly calls that Johnson holds with members of the GOP conference.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, was the most recent House Republican to suggest the GOP could be in a stronger position if they were back in Washington, Fox News Digital was told.
«I think the longer that we are out, the messaging is starting to get old,» Van Duyne told fellow House Republicans on their Tuesday call.
