Republican senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski call for Kristi Noem to resign as DHS secretary

On January 27, 2026, Sen. Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina , and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, called for Secretary Kristi Noem to resign over Minnesota shootings.
After weekend shootings in Minneapolis, Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, called victims terrorists, a claim later challenged by video and scrutiny.
Sen. Thom Tillis told reporters `I can't think of any point of pride over the last year` and placed holds on DHS nominations until Kristi Noem testified, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski said `I've lost confidence in her`.
Democratic leaders warned they would oppose a spending package including Department of Homeland Security funding, risking a partial government shutdown by Friday as over three-fourths of the House Democratic Caucus back impeachment articles.
A Feb. 12 hearing will question Todd Lyons, Rodney Scott and Joseph Edlow as lawmakers call for investigations amid concerns about eroding public trust.
