Robin Kelly Moves to Impeach Noem After ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

The move intensifies pressure on DHS during state and federal reviews of videos that challenge the agency’s account.

Overview

  • Rep. Robin Kelly announced plans to introduce impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, citing obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing.
  • An ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during a Minneapolis operation, with bystander videos showing agents at her car and shots fired as the vehicle turned and drove away.
  • DHS defended the officer as acting in self-defense and called the incident an act of domestic terrorism, while President Trump and Republicans voiced support for ICE.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz rejected DHS’s portrayal after reviewing footage, and Walz readied the National Guard as protests continued.
  • Kelly’s effort follows a December impeachment push by Rep. Delia Ramirez and faces long odds in the Republican-led Congress, as some Democrats also press to curb or defund ICE through budget fights.
