At a press conference Tuesday in Iowa, Donald Trump had his bodyguards forcibly remove Univision anchor Jorge Ramos from the room. As Ramos continues to try to ask his question, Trump’s bodyguard pushes him out of the room.

Later, Trump allowed Ramos back into the room and allowed him to ask a question. Ramos asked Trump how he was going to build a 1,900 mile wall. “Very easy, I’m a builder,” Trump said.

Trump is currently suing Univision for $500 million after the network dropped coverage of his beauty pageants. Univision severed the relationship in protest of Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.

In a statement released after the press conference, Univision President Isaac Lee said, “We’d love for Mr. Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his proposals.”

A recent poll showed Trump has a negative 51 net favorability rating among Hispanics.
