'No Other Option': Prominent Democrats Demand Noem's Impeachment After Shooting

Source: MEDIAite

Jan 25th, 2026, 4:26 pm


Prominent Democrats are demanding the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following her handling of the border patrol shooting death of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti.

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.

for ICE to be there are lies. Giving over the voting records has nothing to do with either border security /immigration or fraud.

To bring out that getting the voting records has been a Republican goal, this needs to be made more of an issue.

Years ago, volunteering for Democrats in NJ, the list of voters we had was very old and had been poorly updated. An explanation was it was too expensive to by updated lists. As this was a county with many people working at near by corporate headquarters, many people on the list had moved. We would note if the phone was disconnected.

If one party has the current voter rolls, it would be a huge advantage. Maybe they should require anything given to the the Trump administration be given to the DNC too.

For most of her life she has lived only a few hundred miles from Minnesota. Why is she doing this to THEM?
Of all the people Chump could have picked for this job, he picked her? Did she know what this entailed?

Justice matters.

Also, she wants to keep her high-paying job at the expense of the national debt.
