The US congresswoman Delia Ramirez, one of the most vocal pro-immigrant national lawmakers, pressed for the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, to resign during a “combative” closed-door meeting between the two on Wednesday, according to a Guardian interview with the representative and a follow-up letter submitted to Noem.

The meeting was the first one-on-one private meeting that Noem has had with a Democratic member of Congress since her tenure at the top of the DHS began last year.
