I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Never forget how this terrorism works.

Whether organizers, activists, or immigrant targets, they want people terrified not just for their own lives but at the thought of what will happen to their children.

I've said before that after 20 years of organizing I am for the first time staying away from public-facing direct action resistance work, because I fear leaving my kids without their mom.

Good had a kid the same age as my eldest. She was doing work of conscience and they murdered that child's mom.

I urge the Minnesota press to learn from the Chicago press who figured out quite quickly how to cover this stuff.

If the President has seen a different video, he should release it. But the evidence available does not show an officer being run over or a justification for shots to be fired. The rush to excuse this shooting is expected but abhorrent. Gather the facts. Do your job.

On that last point: the car only suddenly accelerated after they shot her. The vehicle wasn't a danger to anyone until they made it one by killing the driver. It was only dumb luck that it crashed into a pole and not a person.
This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Demand accountability and justice for the murdered Minnesotan woman
On January 7, 2026, we witnessed a tragic and devastating event: the loss of a brave Minneapolis woman who stood up for the freedom and safety of her immigrant neighbors. She was murdered by the misguided actions of a militia-style force within Homeland Security under Kristi Noem. This was not an isolated incident; it follows a disturbing pattern of escalating violence and misinformation that is propagated by the MAGA regime and right wing news sources. Including false claims surrounding the murder of former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and a relentless attack on Governor Tim Walz. We are living under a regime that prioritizes power and profit over the lives of everyday people. The actions of ICE have escalated to a point where they are no longer enforcing laws. They are instead endangering our communities and our and lives. The lethal force employed against a woman simply standing witness to their assault is a chilling reminder of the consequences of allowing armed, untrained agents to operate in our neighborhoods without accountability. It is crucial to recognize that ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have become an untrained, masked militia posing a direct threat to our families, our freedoms, and our futures. Their operations, characterized by intimidation, abduction, and violence, only serve to perpetuate fear and targeting those who are simply seeking a better life. We the people must take action. I urge you to arrest the ICE agents responsible for this murder and remove ICE from our communities to prevent further loss of life and destruction of families. This is not a call for condemnation without direction; it is a demand for accountability and justice. The presence of ICE serves only to undermine our safety and security rather than bolster it. Please consider the impact of these choices on our communities and your constituents and respond by taking concrete steps to ensure these kinds of tragedies are not repeated.

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

New from Governor Tim Walz on today's ICE murder in Minneapolis:

"I feel your anger. I'm angry. They want a show. We can't give it to 'em. We cannot. ... To Americans, I ask you this: please stand with Minneapolis."
We’ve been warning for weeks that the Trump Administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to public safety.

This is a tragedy. There is no other word for it.

This is a paramilitary force committing violence against the American people at the direction of the President and his administration.

They are levying war against the American people. That is called treason, and we do not have to stand for it.
