Overview
- Rep. Robin Kelly formally introduced three impeachment articles against Kristi Noem, with more than 70 House Democrats listed as co-sponsors by Wednesday afternoon.
- The charges cite obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust over alleged due‑process and constitutional abuses, and self‑dealing tied to reported $220 million in contracts.
- DHS dismissed the drive as a "silly" initiative during a serious time, while Noem said she will continue enforcing federal immigration laws under the administration’s directives.
- Democratic backers include members from battleground districts and centrists, reflecting mounting intraparty support following the ICE agent‑involved killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
- Even with growing support, the push faces steep procedural hurdles in a Republican-controlled House, as protests continue and calls for independent reviews of ICE conduct intensify.
