Representative Robin Kelly introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and the resolution has attracted 156 Democratic cosponsors. The effort faces steep odds in a Congress with Republican majorities in both chambers.
Kelly introduced three articles of impeachment against Noem on January 14, accusing her of obstruction of Congress, violating public trust and self-dealing. The articles also allege that Noem directed warrantless arrests and misused $200 million in taxpayer funds for an ICE recruitment campaign. As of Friday, the resolution had 156 Democratic cosponsors.
The effort followed federal agents’ fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. Noem initially described Pretti as having committed an “act of domestic terrorism,” then said she had relayed information she believed was correct. Noem defended her work, while Democratic leaders called for her removal and Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis urged President Donald Trump to dismiss her. The article says the measure is unlikely to pass without Republican support.
