""They're disappearing people off the street, and this has nothing to do with citizenship at all, increasingly, in who they're going after.""
""Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. It's one thing to be incompetent and dangerous, but it's impeachable to break the rule of law. I told my constituents ... that I would fight against Secretary Noem's agenda. This is me fighting back.""

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that ICE is increasingly detaining people regardless of citizenship. Democrats signaled willingness to use a government shutdown to pressure ICE funding. Rep. Robin Kelly announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
