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.”
Impeachment is simple majority. Then it goes to the senate to vote to remove the official which is 2/3
Same difference. Why not spend our energy on things we can actually accomplish like we did with Epstein which was a massive win which will help us all year?
First, it’s multitasking. You can put energy into multiple things. That’s why you have hundreds of legislators.
Second, what’s happening in our country right now with ICE is insane. And for the sake of the midterms, it’s important to put on record which legislators are actively supporting this administration in these specific efforts. An impeachment vote would give something real to indicate who is supporting the actions of this administration against its citizens.
We all know who it is supporting it. It’s all the Republicans minus a couple.
