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.

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

The woman shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis waved not once, but twice, for officers to go ahead and proceed around her car which starts and stops briefly as she tries to wave officers through. During her second wave, she is at a dead stop when officers stop and get out of their truck.

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

This is why it's good we saw the footage because the officer was angry he didn't get to drag her out of her truck so he killed her

I think the understandable tendency has been to treat this as a tasteless joke, but in light of all we've seen to date, we need to take seriously the possibility that they may be insane enough to try to seize the territory of a peaceful ally by force for... no real reason.
