Top Democrats tell Trump: either fire Kristi Noem or we will impeach her

Top House Democrats on Tuesday told Donald Trump to fire Kristi Noem or they would launch impeachment proceedings against the homeland security secretary, in response to the weekend killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

The ultimatum came after a majority of the House Democratic caucus signed on to articles of impeachment introduced earlier in the month in response to the shooting death of Renee Good, who, like Pretti, was a US citizen killed by federal agents during the increasingly violent immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s largest city.

“The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives,” said Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, along with his two deputies, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar, in a joint statement.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”

Robin Kelly, an Illinois congresswoman, introduced the articles of impeachment, and 162 of the 213 House Democrats had signed on as co-sponsors as of Tuesday, according to her office.

The evil behind the Big Evil One is Miller. I don’t know how you get rid of him. He has his nasty fingers in so many parts of the federal government that he’s essentially the acting president.

t will dump him quicker than he can drop a lawsuit on someone. It's part of the reason why musk was dumped, people started referring to him as president musk, and trump was almost an after thought. t did not like that, it broke the cardinal rule of all attention must be on t all the time.
