LA Mayor Bass says she doesn't recognize Sec. Noem

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass held a press conference Thursday on anti-ICE protests and immigration raids across the city. She also spoke on Sen. Alex Padilla's (D-CA) removal from a press conference while he was asking a question to DHS Security Kristi Noem. Bass said she does not "recognize" Noem anymore after serving alongside her in Congress for years. In a post on X, Bass said what happened to Padilla is "absolutely abhorrent and outrageous," adding that the Trump administration's "violent attacks on our city must end."
