House Democrats Rally at ICE HQ to Demand Kristi Noem’s Ouster

Democrats cite two Minnesota killings by immigration agents as grounds for removal.

Overview

  • Dozens of House Democrats and leaders from Hispanic, Black and Asian American caucuses gathered outside ICE headquarters urging Kristi Noem to resign, be fired or face impeachment.
  • Representative Robin Kelly said more than 180 lawmakers have co-sponsored her impeachment articles accusing Noem of obstruction, violation of public trust and self-dealing.
  • Republicans control the House and Senate, leaving the impeachment push with uncertain prospects in the near term.
  • A federal judge temporarily blocked Noem’s policy requiring seven days’ notice before lawmakers conduct oversight visits to detention facilities.
  • Noem announced body cameras for immigration agents after the Minneapolis shootings as DHS defended her leadership and called the impeachment effort “silly.”
