Democrats Escalate Impeachment Push Against Kristi Noem
HuffPost
Top House Democrats said if Noem doesn't go, they'll start building the case for her eventual impeachment, though they'd need Republican support.
WASHINGTON – Democrats in the House of Representatives are escalating their push to impeach Kristi Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, over the agency’s deadly crackdown in Minnesota.
Since Democrats don’t control the House, they can’t control impeachment proceedings, but House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday they would begin to lay the groundwork for impeaching Noem if President Donald Trump doesn’t fire her.
“We have to build the case so that we can convince a handful of Republicans, as we have done on other issues, that the time is now to hold the Department of Homeland Security accountable for their behavior,” Jeffries said on MS NOW.
Under Noem’s leadership, immigration enforcement agents swarmed Minneapolis this month, provoking angry protests and killing two American citizens in separate incidents captured on camera from multiple angles.
Even before a Border Patrol agent killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, a Democratic impeachment resolution against Noem had more than 100 cosponsors. Noem falsely claimed that Pretti brandished a weapon at federal agents and “attacked” them. Videos showed Pretti holding up his phone camera before agents tackled him to the ground and shot him repeatedly.
