House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are demanding that President Trump fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem or face impeachment proceedings. This ultimatum follows the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, allegedly caused by federal agents during immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. Articles of impeachment, introduced by Representative Robin Kelly, have garnered support from a majority of House Democrats. Simultaneously, Senate Democrats are threatening to block DHS funding due to its allocation for ICE. Even some moderate Democrats, like Senator John Fetterman, are urging Trump to dismiss Noem, accusing her of betraying DHS's mission. Trump has publicly defended Noem, stating that she is doing a "very good job."
