Senator Alex Padilla was roughly pushed out of the DHS news conference when challenging the DHS secretary’s comments. It looks like the truth is being throttled.

Today the DHS secretary announced that the troops ordered to L.A. will be staying until the city is liberated.
As far a I can tell, this is not true. The city doesn’t need liberating. Roughly 4 blocks of the downtown area are affected by the protesting. Find local sources to verify this info.
