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.”

          Yeah I got my issues with America, but I’m a true believer in the enlightenment and I love that this country is philosophically grounded in enlightenment ideas and the idea that the state’s ability to project force onto it’s citizens should be limited. I know about our contradictions, and I’m disappointed as all hell in what we’ve done with ourselves in the past decades (and longer), but part of me loves this country and believes it could be better.

          But first and foremost I’m an international anti fascist. I don’t care that I love my home, it’s fallen to the fascists and is attacking the world, I can love it again once it’s been stopped.
