Democrats asked the homeland security secretary to testify about Senator Alex Padilla’s removal from a news conference and Trump’s immigration enforcement.

State and local tax deductions on federal income tax forms would remain capped at $10,000 under a plan released Monday by the Republican-led Senate Finance Committee-a limit with significant implications for California taxpayers.

Sen. Alex Padilla is encouraging Americans to peacefully protest against President Donald Trump's administration in his first extended remarks in the Senate since he was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles when he tried to speak about immigration raids.

‘It’s about every single American who values their constitutional rights,’ Senator Padilla says.
