House Democrats File Impeachment Articles Against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

Republican control of the House leaves the move largely symbolic for now.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem held a press conference in Bradenton Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, to highlight the department efforts in the first nine months of the Trump Administration.

Overview

  • Rep. Robin Kelly introduced a 10-page resolution with three articles alleging obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing.
  • Roughly 69–70 Democrats co-sponsored the filing, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats have not settled on a caucus-wide impeachment strategy.
  • The resolution cites the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis and alleges a broader pattern of warrantless arrests and due-process violations tied to DHS enforcement.
  • The self-dealing charge asserts Noem steered about $200 million to an ICE recruitment ad campaign and awarded no-bid work to connected firms, including one linked to a DHS spokesperson’s husband.
  • DHS dismissed the impeachment push as “silly,” and separate lawsuits over lawmakers’ blocked access to ICE facilities continue, with a federal judge reviewing Noem’s revised visitation policy.
