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.”
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.
