US EditionUS House Democratic leaders threaten Noem with impeachment
House Democrats warn President Trump to remove DHS Secretary Noem over her role in Minneapolis shootings and alleged abuses, with 160 Democrats backing impeachment efforts.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and top deputies warned Tuesday that `Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.`
- Under Noem's leadership this month, immigration agents swarmed Minneapolis, provoking protests and killing two Americans, while Rep. Robin Kelly filed impeachment articles on Jan. 14 after Renée Nicole Good's killing.
- Official records show at least 111 representatives backing H.Res.996, which accuses Noem of obstruction, public-trust violations and unlawfully requiring seven days' notice for ICE detention centre visits.
- House Democratic leaders threaten to impeach Noem, as Democrats vow to block Homeland Security funding ahead of Friday and Trump defends her, signaling political fallout.
- A House impeachment needs a simple majority, meaning at least 3 House Republicans would have to join Democrats, while Senate conviction requires 67 votes, making removal unlikely under current control.
