House Democrats push to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem after federal agents kill a citizen in Minnesota

House members are calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Representative Jasmine Crockett joined other lawmakers in demanding Noem's removal after citing concerns about ICE agents. This push comes as Noem faces low approval ratings and criticism over the department's leadership. Tensions rose further after federal agents shot and killed a person in Minnesota. Local leaders and activists called the incident indefensible state violence. Even some police departments that previously supported federal missions are losing faith in ICE tactics following the recent violence.
