  • Noem acknowledged the removal was inappropriate and planned to meet with Padilla to discuss his concerns.
  • If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country.— Senator Alex Padilla spoke after meeting with Secretary Noem about the treatment of senators by the administration.
