"Democratic representative Robin Kelly on Wednesday plans to formally introduce articles of impeachment against Donald Trump's homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, following the fatal shooting of a US citizen by an immigration agent in Minneapolis last week. The new push comes amid mounting national outrage over the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, at the wheel of her car on a residential street, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer."
"The Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, described the shooting as a reckless use of power and demanded the agency leave the city. The administration has responded by sending more federal agents, as tensions between officers and residents escalate. Kelly, an Illinois Democrat, will be joined by Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Maxine Dexter of Oregon progressive representatives from states where federal agents have shot residents in recent days in filing three articles of impeachment against Noem."
Representative Robin Kelly plans to introduce three articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Local officials and video evidence have contested the administration's characterization of the incident as an act of domestic terrorism by a professional agitator. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the shooting a reckless use of power and demanded the agency leave the city as federal agents were deployed and tensions rose. Kelly will be joined by Ilhan Omar and Maxine Dexter. Critics accuse Noem of withholding funds, blocking oversight, and enabling warrantless arrests.
