The American senator was removed by force and his hands were removed by FBI agents at a press conference held by Minister of Internal Security Christie Nayyv in Los Angeles on Thursday, in a major escalation of tensions in California.

Men who wear clear clothes Alex Badilla, the Democratic Senator from California, pushed the room where Naim spoke to journalists in the Federal Wilshair building in Los Angeles.

The federal investigation office video showed Padilla on the ground outside the room and puts his hands, after he knew himself as an American staff.

Badilla shots showed the intersection of the press conference to ask Nayyu, “Why do you insist on exaggerating and decorating” before being accused.

Badilla later told correspondents outside the federal building that he was “almost removed almost immediately from the room” after he began to ask his question.

He said: “I was forced on the ground, and I was handcuffed. I was not arrested. I did not hold.”

“I will say this: If this is the way this administration responds to a Senate member with a question … You can just imagine what they do for workers on the farm, cooking, and day workers in the Los Angeles community and all over California and all over the country,” Badilla added. “We will carry this administration responsible.”

The quarrel, which included a member of the congress and Federal agents, was distinguished by a new escalation after days of tensions in Los Angeles, where the Trump administration ordered the deployment of the National Guard and US Marine Corps to help in the anti -immigration campaign.

The protests arose in Los Angeles and all over the country opposing the efforts of the White House to deport millions of illegal immigrants.

“I have just seen something that disturbed my stomach, dealing with a member of the United States Senate. We need immediate answers to what happened to hell,” Democratic Senate Chief Chuck Schumer said in the Senate Hall on Thursday.

“This is a dictatorship,” added Senator in Hawaii Brian Shatz, a democrat.

Nom, who was addressing the events in the city, told reporters at the press conference that Badilla’s actions are inappropriate.

She said, “I don’t even know the Senator,” she said, adding that she “will have a conversation with him and a visit and knowledge, really his fears.”

“I think that every person in America will agree that this was not appropriate, and that if you want a civil discussion, especially as a leader, a public employee, you will communicate with them and try to convey.”

Fox News later told Badilla after the quarrel and exchanged phone numbers.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Security did not immediately respond to the comment.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Justice and the FBI immediately responded to the requests for comment.
