briefing

The G7 is a "consensus body. We work together", a senior Canadian government official said in a briefing last week.

For months, officials had set the stage for mass deportations in White House media briefings, X posts and Fox News hits.

Padilla said that he was in the federal building on Thursday for a briefing with a general, because for weeks he’s been trying unsuccessfully to get answers about how deportations are being handled.

The Department of Homeland Security said Padilla had engaged in "disrespectful political theatre" and that Noem met with the senator after the news briefing.

At a makeshift podium outside the federal building, Padilla said he was attending a briefing in the federal building when he learned that Noem was nearby.
