WASHINGTON — When videos first rocketed around the internet Thursday afternoon showing security officers forcibly removing Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla from a news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in California, senators in both parties were already gathered together for a long series of votes.

A protest at the ICE facility turned chaotic, with federal agents deploying tear gas and less-lethal rounds as demonstrators shattered the glass of the building’s entrance and formed shield walls in the street.

Noem said the immigration raids that fueled the protests would move forward and agents have thousands of targets.

GOP Rep. Mark Green, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, announced Monday that he intends to leave Congress after the House votes again on President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy package.

The request came Monday after President Donald Trump a ordered thousands of National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles.

Videos shared with the Times show masked federal agents in plain clothes wearing “police” vests with the three letter acronym for Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The vehicles, all of them unmarked, included a black Dodge 4x4 truck, also with Arizona license plates.

The Tennessee Republican said he would leave "as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package."

Amid heightened tensions over a national crackdown on illegal immigration, an angry crowd surrounded the scene of a car crash involving a federal agent in Westbury on Tuesday afternoon after an appearance by Homeland Security agents in the area.
