Americans should not have to live in fear of their own government.
Secretary Noem has weaponized a powerful federal law enforcement agency to create an environment of fear and intimidation across communities in America. She has been untruthful, created a poisonous culture inside DHS, and made America less safe.
On her watch, DHS violates court orders, fails to hold private contractors accountable, and engages in blatant corruption. She has protected agents who have used excessive force, encouraged antagonism instead of deescalation, and has ignored well-established norms for accountability.
In 2025, 32 people died in ICE detention while she flew around the country for photo ops.
Her agency has been slow and frequently unwilling to respond to casework inquiries, and she has established a pattern of ignoring Congress in order to obscure what is happening within her agency from the American public.
At the same time, Secretary Noem has sought to deny Members of Congress access to federally-funded immigration detention facilities, blocking important oversight, especially of privately-run facilities.
Instead of ensuring accountability and transparency would be at the center of a joint investigation with state officials, Noem immediately defended the agent, lied about what Americans saw for themselves, and attacked the victim.
Guns have been pointed at protestors, and under Sec. Noem’s “leadership,” eight people have been shot by DHS, 5 of whom were U.S. citizens, and two were killed. One of those killings happened in Minneapolis last week, when an ICE agent shot and killed a mother of three.
Americans across the country have witnessed ICE and Border Patrol Agents in masks racially profiling Americans, using aggressive and often violent tactics against communities, destroying property, and violating people's civil rights.
I support the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
The entirety of Kristi Noem’s tenure at DHS has marred by the trampling of the department’s stated values of “integrity, vigilance, and respect."
🧵
DHS is - again - violating the law, attempting to diminish Congressional authority and subverting a clear judicial ruling.
We will - again - see them in court.
NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
🚨 We just passed the bill that would extend the ACA tax credits for three years in the House!
It’s about the oil.
We must protect our democracy. I’m profoundly committed to that today, and always will be.
The question is - will a handful of Republicans join Democrats to ensure that happens?
We should not be running Venezuela - especially at a time when the American people are suffering under Trump’s disastrous economic policies. Congressional Republicans must join us to reassert our authority and hold this administration accountable.
The drug trafficking accusation is a ruse. Donald Trump and JD Vance’s own statements acknowledge the real reason behind this illegal attack: their gluttonous pursuit of oil.
