Overview
- Rep. Robin Kelly introduced the resolution with three articles of impeachment co-sponsored by roughly 69 House Democrats.
- The articles allege obstruction of Congress over blocked ICE facility visits, due-process violations through warrantless arrests, and self-dealing tied to a $200 million contract reported by ProPublica.
- The push follows the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, which intensified scrutiny of DHS operations.
- A federal judge is examining whether Noem’s new policy on facility access violates an earlier court order, after Minnesota lawmakers reported being denied recent visits.
- Noem has dismissed the impeachment effort as “silly,” and the Republican-led House is unlikely to advance the measure in the near term.
