Noem Grilled at House Hearing as Protests Disrupt Session and Democrats Push Resignation, Impeachment

The DHS chief defended the enforcement surge as opponents cited alleged wrongful detentions, with a Democrat seeking an impeachment inquiry.

Overview

  • Anti-ICE protesters twice interrupted the House Homeland Security Committee’s 'Worldwide Threats' hearing and were escorted out or detained by Capitol Police.
  • Ranking Member Bennie Thompson called on Kristi Noem to resign and warned her about possible perjury while pressing which administration vetted the D.C. National Guard shooting suspect’s asylum application.
  • Rep. Delia Ramirez said she asked the House Judiciary Committee to open an impeachment investigation, alleging misuse of resources and false or misleading statements to Congress.
  • Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz requested a DHS review after reports that multiple U.S. citizens in the Twin Cities were detained by ICE; DHS says it does not target citizens for immigration arrests but has detained Americans for interference.
  • President Trump publicly praised Noem and rejected rumors of her ouster, as reports of a rift between Noem and border czar Tom Homan persisted without indications of personnel changes.
