An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will "move forward," members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.

"We're gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem," Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.

In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem "abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates," "willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law" and "compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions."

Either way ICE receives three times more money in 2026

    200 billion in the bank already. Minus whatever they spent since summer.

    And remember the dems that voted in favor of that increase.

    They need to be primaried out

    Thank you. I really cannot explain people being so adamant about hating Democrats to the point of lying unless they're intentionally gunning for a conservative agenda.

    Did you forget the budget passed by senate democrats in 2025 still included massive increases in funding for ICE and DHS?

    Edit: In order to maintain fairness I did make a mistake. They only approved a continuing resolution that allowed the previously approved FY25 funding to be used. Which was a massive increase

    So we get to see what they do at the end of this month, but by passing the continuing resolution they were allowed months to operate at capacity.

    Are you forgetting the fillabuster? You have to look at the dems that allowed this to go to the floor for a vote at all.

    It should have been killed before the official vote.

    Also don't get bogged down on a budget increase approved by the "Big Beautiful Bill". That funding was only in place for 2 months before the end of the fiscal year.

    The dems had every opportunity in October 2025 to reverse this and use the fillabuster. They didn't even mention it during the shutdown and ultimately caved. That was their chance. They decided not to take it

    ... they currently have more funding than the Marine Corp.

    So, functionally, we're now up to 7 branches of the Military:

    Army

    Navy

    Marines

    Airforce

    Coast Guard

    Space Force

    DHS/ICE

    The latter two were created by Trump, and of course the last one is the uh, inward facing, definitionally tyrannical military branch, you know, the kind of thing this country was founded on fighting a revolutionary war against.

    There's a reason we have a whole initial Ammendment out of the first 10, about not being able to quarter troops in private citizen's homes.

    So most of us remember Noem's main claim to fame being that she executed her new puppy, after... not training it properly, and being annoyed by it.

    Well I'd like to remind folks she was behind this ad campaign:

    Nope, not a joke, not a photoshop, not AI hallucination... this was her baby, and it was real.

    Finally... I present to you, Kristi Karen Noem:

    Yeah thats from ~7 years ago, when she still had a vaguely human face.

    If memory serves... she is still, herself, personally banned from setting foot on any Indian/Native Tribal land in the entire state of South Dakota, basically for consistently being a racist c*nt, consistently disrespecting any and all tribal attempts to keep their land clean from industrial waste.

    EDIT:

    (I've been told by a local from Rapid City that she also executed a goat in a similar violent outburst as with her new puppy... but I have not been able to verify this myself, with a citable print source.

    Local told me that its not uncommon to basically just rent a or some goats as basically au naturale lawnmowers, which does make sense to me...

    ... but she apparently got annoyed by the bleating, and one day just shot someone else's goat, that she was renting, to be a lawnmower on her ranch.

    ... Yeah.)

    Kristi Noem to Fox News Sunday this past weekend: "It's really, really horrific that we have elected officials that are using this as an opportunity to divide, using this to promote an agenda that fundamentally would take away our freedoms and our liberties in this country,"

    God I hope so much that we make it through this, and she suffers terribly. Remember, this is just the beginning. By the time she is finally held to account for her crimes, it may very well not be an American court that decides her fate. God I hope they use a rope, and televise it. I know, extremely wishful thinking—every word of it. But this leftist bitch wants to see the day.

    And even if everything goes perfectly, what happens when she simply doesn't respond and continues working as usual? When she simply ignores it?

    I guess we should just quit, not even bother to try. Is that what you are suggesting?

    He’ll just replace her with someone worse. This won’t end until they remove the tumor at the center of this all.

    To get rid of what happening involves a complete upheaval to how the US government operates and dictates. Until then, we will always be in this shitty loop. Trump is a symptom not the cause. There will be someone else definitely worse if the flaws in our government are not fixed.

    Frankly, I don't see that happening within my young lifetime.

    Trump will just sign an executive order saying 'lol no' the supreme Court will say 'yes Daddy' and that will be it.

    Who cares? She will just ignore it. Unless you have some method of enforcement ready, nothing you say here will matter.

    Impeachment is just pointless “respectability” politics intended to get decent people to step down out of respect for the position. The cult leader running this nonsense was impeached twice and guess what came of it? This is just another pointless show of theatrics, all sound and fury signifying nothing.

    Just needs majority of house, right?

    Need a supermajority in senate so symbolic either way but with house majority could maybe force her to testify or sommething.

    I could see a scenario where it forces her to resign. Trump “allowed” the senate and house to pass the Epstein bill (even though they are not following the law of it). I think because there was so much pressure for it to pass.

    If similar pressure campaigns get brought up around this, maybe Trump forces her to resign. Especially if it seems like it could impact midterms.

    That is a good point. Start digging for scandals, hitting the ones we have already. Could win over gop one vote at a time.

    Was that her that held up the emergency warning in texas hill country floods? The feds drop the ball, and they send no help for days, blocking help until she personally signed off or something.

    Executing a citizen under false pretense and slandering them as terrorist to set a precedent of fed agents executing without cause with impunity would rub plenty of conservatives the wrong way if dems knew how to fight to be clear.

    The ones getting traction could be the ones to challenge r house seats rather than republican light dems. That is where they lose.
