"For the second time in a month, Noem has immediately defended federal officers for shooting and killing a protester without any investigation or concrete evidence. Pretti was shot multiple times by federal agents Saturday, and Renee Good was shot four times and killed by officer Jonathan Ross on Jan. 7. In both cases, Noem immediately claimed the officers were acting in self-defense."
"Axios reported Sunday that a House Democratic caucus phone call on Sunday lit up with calls to impeach Noem. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), told colleagues that if Noem insists on remaining in her position, we will have no other option but to begin impeachment, anonymous sources told Axios. House Homeland Security Committee ranking member Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who was once reticent about impeachment, similarly called for Noem to be impeached on the call, the report said."
"Major news organizations, including The Wall Street Journal, dissected amateur video of the shooting and concluded, Bystander footage appears to tell a different story, than the Trump administration's claims. A frame-by-frame review by The Wall Street Journal shows a federal officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti. Less than a second later, an agent fires several rounds. Pretti died at the scene."
Prominent Democrats are calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she immediately defended federal officers involved in the border patrol shooting death of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti. Pretti was shot multiple times by federal agents; another protester, Renee Good, was shot four times and killed on Jan. 7. Lawmakers including Rep. Jared Moskowitz and Rep. Bennie Thompson urged impeachment or resignation. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul demanded Noem's resignation and called for the firing of senior border patrol official Gregory Bovino. Major news organizations reviewed bystander video that appears to contradict official claims, showing an officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti before several rounds were fired.
