More than 70 House Democrats has started a formal attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. They are accusing the Trump administration official of leading a 'reign of terror' across the United States. This serious political move comes after an American citizen was shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota. The effort marks a major increase in the fight between Democrats in Congress and the White House over how the country handles immigration rules and policing.
Representative Robin Kelly of Illinois is leading the effort. On Wednesday, she introduced three articles of impeachment against the Secretary. These articles charge Noem with blocking Congress from doing its job, breaking the public's trust, and misusing government money. The push to remove Noem from office happened just days after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. The death of Good has caused anger and protests in cities throughout America.
