The fatal ICE shooting in Minnesota "has positioned more people to say enough is enough," Congresswoman Delia Ramirez said.

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.”

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

        No. They are raising a valid concern that has already been demonstrated with the Attorney General.

            Plenty. But suggestions are like wishes. You can make them all day long, but they’re useless without action, and right now we need action. Now organizing, that’s complicated.

              Here’s 2 suggestions for action:

              1. Add your signature to this petition and promote it amongst your peeps : https://act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/no-fundraisers-for-killers/

              2. January 20, 2pm nation wide walk out. 3pm show up at your representatives office, and discuss why Noem should be impeached, including MN in the investigation of the murder perpetrated by Jonathon Ross, and other timely matters.

              Unvoiced suggestions are less even than wishes.

              See ya there, my friend.
