US EditionThree Quarters of House Democrats Now Back Kristi Noem's Impeachment
House Democrats allege deadly misconduct by DHS under Noem, with at least 145 co-sponsoring impeachment articles amid rising public outrage over fatal shootings by immigration agents.
- House Democrats will open a probe into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem next week after filing impeachment articles over a Minnesota shooting this month.
- Prompted by the Minneapolis shootings, agents shot Alex Pretti, 37-year-old U.S. citizen, at least 10 times on Saturday, accelerating demands for accountability after Renée Good's January 7 death.
- At least 145 House Democrats have cosponsored Rep. Robin Kelly's resolution, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing over two-thirds of the House Democratic caucus.
- Democrats will run the probe largely without Republicans, seeking evidence for impeachment despite removal remaining unlikely in a Republican-held Senate requiring a two-thirds majority.
- The articles allege `Obstruction of Congress,` `Violation of Public Trust,` and `Self-Dealing`, while ProPublica reported a $220 million DHS ad contract linked to Noem.
