Democratic lawmakers are escalating calls for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, arguing that a series of violent encounters involving federal immigration officers reflects systemic failures within the department she leads.
The renewed push follows the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis last week, as well as the wounding of two people by a Border Patrol agent in Oregon a day later. Lawmakers say the incidents have intensified concerns about what they describe as a confrontational enforcement culture under Noem's leadership.
