Lawmakers Issue Kristi Noem Impeachment Threat at ICE HQ--'Not Backing Down'

Dozens of members of Congress rallied outside Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) headquarters on Tuesday to issue a warning directed at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she must resign, be fired or face impeachment in the House.
"If Kristi Noem does not resign, and the president does not fire her, Democrats are ready and willing to impeach her," Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, said at the demonstration in Washington. DHS previously told Newsweek that the Democratic-led effort is "silly," and said that Noem and ICE are "enforcing the rule of law passed by Congress."
Why It Matters
Noem has been under increasing pressure, with even a couple Republican senators publicly backing her removal, after two U.S. citizens—37-year-olds Renee Good and Alex Pretti—were shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota last month. Democrats' push to impeach her has ramped up significantly, with more than 180 lawmakers co-sponsoring the resolution. However, as Republicans control the House with a slim majority, the effort would need support from a few GOP members along with all Democrats to move forward.
What To Know
The rally was a combined effort organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers participated, with many posting video messages from outside ICE Headquarters.
