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.

New research finds that immigrants in custody show lower criminogenic risk than U.S.-born citizens.

Stop assuming that she is going to anything that isn't in her own interest.
