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.
Maduro is a criminal and an oppressive tyrant. But that is not what this is about.
Attempts at regime change have historically come at incredible costs to our country, our people, and our reputation abroad. This is one of the reasons why Congress should have been involved.
Donald Trump just told the world that the U.S. is going to “run” Venezuela “for now.”
Are Republicans who have given the Trump administration their full throated support for the illegal bombing of Venezuela and the use of our military to kidnap Maduro and his wife okay with this, too?
I am glad to report that today I was able to perform an unannounced oversight visit to Camp East Montana.
My end of year review is here!
