US Edition'Appalling Conduct': Rep. McCollum Calls for Removal or Impeachment of DHS Secretary Noem
Rep. Kelly accuses Secretary Noem of misconduct and obstruction amid rising tensions after ICE shooting; impeachment articles cite violation of public trust and self-dealing.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Robin Kelly filed three articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing her of obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust and self-dealing.
- After the deadly shooting in Minneapolis, Democrats cited a surge of more than 2,000 federal agents and ongoing DHS operations as worsening tensions.
- Several House Democrats pledged support, including Yassamin Ansari , Emily Randall , Melanie Stansbury , Kevin Mullin , Raja Krishnamoorthi , and Rep. Brad Schneider who said `Secretary Noem must resign or be removed from office`.

Betty McCollum urged firing and accused Noem of obstructing Congress and violating public trust, while some Democrats warn the minority lacks votes for hearings.
- Democrats say the case raises broader oversight concerns, alleging Noem obstructed oversight and misused funds while Republicans block full investigations in House Oversight and Judiciary processes.
