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.”
BULLSHIT

Thank you. I really cannot explain people being so adamant about hating Democrats to the point of lying unless they’re intentionally gunning for a conservative agenda.
Did you forget the budget passed by senate democrats in 2025 still included massive increases in funding for ICE and DHS?
Edit: In order to maintain fairness I did make a mistake. They only approved a continuing resolution that allowed the previously approved FY25 funding to be used. Which was a massive increase
So we get to see what they do at the end of this month, but by passing the continuing resolution they were allowed months to operate at capacity.
The one that zero Democrats voted in favor of? Yes that one.
You may want to check again. DHS recieved all requested funding for fiscal year 2026. This was passed with votes including Senate democrats on November 12th 2025.
You may recall the shutdown and how they could have used the fillabuster. 60-40 vote in favor.
Edit: I’ll admit a mistake they only approved a continuing resolution. This allows them access to the same funding approved by the Big Beautiful Bill. Which increased their budget by billions over FY24
Which budget bill besides the OBBB was passed in 2025?
Every year in October of 2025 the Senate must pass a budget for the new fiscal year.
Of course we had a shutdown with the final bill passed on November 12th 2025. Some agencies were not funded and placed on continuing resolution.
DHS, and subsequently ICE, was not one of those agencies. They recieved all requested funding. The Senate decided to keep the budget increases approved by the OBBB for fiscal year 2026.
I know its confusing fiscal year 2026 begins October 2025, but that’s the system.
Standard divide and conquer tactics. If they can keep Democrats fighting each other, the Republicans can continue their business uninterrupted.
During 2025 budget negotiations senate democrats ended their fillabuster and approved massive increases for ICE and DHS.
This isn’t divide and conquer, these are the facts.
Personally I would like to see them primaried out internally. If that fails they would still be preferable to any opposing republican candidate.
But also if these dems are going to help fund republican agendas how is that going to interrupt the republican agenda?
Democrats voted against the bill. They didn’t have enough votes to stop it and they realistically couldn’t keep the government shut down til the end of the year. That would be a bigger disaster to Americans than the bill itself. Why are you giving Republicans a free pass on responsibility?
I don’t know, I feel like having literal brownshirts running around US cities murdering people was a way worse outcome
They were still doing that during the shutdown. The shutdown didn’t impact ICE at all.
Federal funding is complicated, but essentially agencies are only given a portion of a budget to work with from the previous fiscal year. Operations for some agencies are slowed, but not outright stopped. Other agencies stop entirely it depends.
But the more important bit was caving and allowing them a full budget (currently running on the FY25 budget) to run on. They have another chance at the end of January to make another stand with the fillabuster again since they only issued ICE temporary funding (mistake on my part). So those 9 dems have a chance to fix their mistakes and refuse to fund ICE or at the very least drastically decrease their budget to FY 24 spending. Which was billions less.
They let them continue once, they have one more chance to fix it.
I really do hope they do what you say and shut down the government again over ICE. With luck they will only have to keep it shut down until the newly elected democrat majority house takes office in January.
Are you forgetting the fillabuster? You have to look at the dems that allowed this to go to the floor for a vote at all.
It should have been killed before the official vote.
Also don’t get bogged down on a budget increase approved by the “Big Beautiful Bill”. That funding was only in place for 2 months before the end of the fiscal year.
The dems had every opportunity in October 2025 to reverse this and use the fillabuster. They didn’t even mention it during the shutdown and ultimately caved. That was their chance. They decided not to take it
So first you said they voted in favor of the bill which I proved was a lie. Then you moved the goalposts to say “well, they didn’t fight hard enough” when you admit they literally shut down the government to stop the bill. Why are you so mad at Dems when you are giving Republicans a free pass?
Nope wrong bill.
The 2026 budget was approved on a 60-40 vote that included 9 democrats.
Also who the hell said I wasn’t mad at Republicans? I want those traitors all gone
And the house passed it 222-209. If you want to blame the 8 Senate Democrats that voted for the bill, go ahead (Durbin, King, Hassan, Shaheen, Cortez Masto, Rosen, Fetterman, and Kaine),but blaming all of them is nonsense. Republicans are by far the problem and pretending there is no difference is delusional.
I never once said to blame all of them, only the ones that voted for it. I researched the Senate democrats, but if house democrats voted to they share just as much blame. None are in my district so I didn’t commit everyone to memory.
Honestly you’re starting to invented arguments over things I’ve never said
