An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will “move forward,” members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.

“We’re gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem,” Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.

In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem “abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates,” “willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law” and “compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.”

    He’ll just replace her with someone worse. This won’t end until they remove the tumor at the center of this all.

      Probably, but it’s still much-needed actual retaliation against the regime. Doing nothing besides complaining helps even less. Wars aren’t being won in an instant but as a result of many cumulative small victories.

        Yeah you’re probably right - I guess my impulse is more that even in this the Dems need to be talking about how Trump is equally lawless and incompetent and in need of removal. But they don’t understand or want to understand that in the misinfomation age, if you don’t fill a space with the truth it will be filled with lies.

      To get rid of what happening involves a complete upheaval to how the US government operates and dictates. Until then, we will always be in this shitty loop. Trump is a symptom not the cause. There will be someone else definitely worse if the flaws in our government are not fixed.

      Frankly, I don’t see that happening within my young lifetime.

      She wont be replaced at all. They’ll never have enough votes for actual removal. Still important to make the attempt, though.
