WASHINGTON: Democratic leaders in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday said if homeland security secretary Kristi Noem is not fired “immediately,” they will begin impeachment proceedings against her.
“The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives,” Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said in a joint statement with his top lieutenants.
Their statement came in response to recent shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that resulted in the deaths of two US citizens with no criminal records.
