Congress Debates Possible Consequences for ICE and Noem After Renee Good's Killing
House Democrats demand judicial action to counter new ICE visit rules after Renee Good's death, warning of funding blocks as oversight fights intensify before Jan. 30 deadline.
- One day after Renee Good's shooting, Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security quietly ordered new restrictions barring House Democrats from entering ICE detention centers, requiring one week's notice and blocking three lawmakers from a Minneapolis detention center.
- District Judge Jia Cobb last month rejected a similar DHS restriction, citing federal spending laws, and House Democrats say Kristi Noem's order echoes that policy amid a months-long legal fight.
- Noem defended the rule, saying unannounced visits create 'circus-like' publicity and divert resources, and tied the policy's enforcement exclusively to funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- With annual Homeland Security funding lapsing January 30, House Democrats threaten to block ICE funding and consider impeachment against Kristi Noem, as Senator Chris Murphy warns of restraint needs.
- Video footage and witness statements appeared to contradict the administration's initial account of Good's shooting, fueling nationwide protests and outrage as ICE expands detention and enforcement.
