California Senator (US, not State) barged into a press briefing being given by Kristi Noem (US Secretary of Homeland Security), without announcing, at first, who he was. Security, can't say who exactly, pushed him out of the room, threw him down and cuffed him.

One one hand, he caused a fuss on purpose. OTOH, we got a solid look at fascism in action.

EDIT: It appears I was very wrong. Padilla claims the FBI escorted him to the room. I hardly see that statement being a lie as this was in a federally secured building.
