An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will “move forward,” members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.

“We’re gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem,” Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.

In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem “abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates,” “willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law” and “compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.”

    Doesn’t matter. Some people will say things like “it’ll fail but at least we’ll have those names on record” but that doesn’t even matter. Without the votes and knowing this will fail is just another insta-failure for democrats that falls onto the pile of recent failures. It’d be better to wait until after the midterms.

      My one friend Made the argument of why even pay attention if it didn’t matter? It’s history, nobody actually paid for Watergate or Iran contra.

    Who cares? She will just ignore it. Unless you have some method of enforcement ready, nothing you say here will matter.

    Impeachment is just pointless “respectability” politics intended to get decent people to step down out of respect for the position. The cult leader running this nonsense was impeached twice and guess what came of it? This is just another pointless show of theatrics, all sound and fury signifying nothing.

    And even if everything goes perfectly, what happens when she simply doesn’t respond and continues working as usual? When she simply ignores it?

    He’ll just replace her with someone worse. This won’t end until they remove the tumor at the center of this all.

    Waiting to hear what talking points Israel and/or billionaire donors gave the Chuck Schumer side of the Dems to inevitably oppose this, or put no real effort into it so it inevitably fails.

    If she’s impeached, congress will just approve some other reckless, hateful pos to take her place.

    More “we’re seriously thinking about it” clicky stuff. Let me know by posting real news after the action is taken or the decision is made. Everything else is just noise and falls under “money tricks for hate clicks”.
