House Democrats are increasingly taking aim at Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as they criticize the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policies during a Thursday hearing, where lawmakers called for her impeachment and resignation multiple times.
Noem testified before the House Homeland Security Committee about worldwide threats facing the nation. Democrats took the opportunity to chastise the Cabinet secretary for leading the Department of Homeland Security in carrying out the president’s mass deportation agenda.
During her line of questioning, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) alleged that Noem misused resources appropriated by Congress, engaged in unethical behavior, made false and misleading statements to Congress, and evaded congressional oversight. The congresswoman cited these reasons to justify why Noem should exit office, either willingly or involuntarily.
