On Wednesday, Rep.\u00a0Robin Kelly\u00a0(D-Ill.) introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary\u00a0Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a press conference on Wednesday, Kelly outlined three impeachment articles against the secretary, accusing Noem of obstruction of Congress, \u201cviolation of public trust\u201d and \u201cself-dealing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSecretary Noem has brought her reign of terror to the Chicagoland area, L.A., New Orleans, Charlotte, Durham, and communities north to south to east to west,\u201d Kelly said at the press conference. \u201cShe needs to be held accountable for her actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hill reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first impeachment article alleges Noem denied Kelly and other members of Congress \u201coversight of ICE detention facilities,\u201d the congresswoman said at her presser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kelly explained the second article, which accuses Noem of violating public trust, by saying Noem \u201cdirected DHS agents to arrest people without warrants, use tear gas against citizens, and ignore due process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kelly said Noem frequently says \u201cshe\u2019s taking murderers and rapists off our streets, but none of the 614 people arrested during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago has been charged or convicted of murder or rape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the third impeachment article, which accuses the secretary of self-dealing, Kelly said Noem \u201cabused her power for personal benefit,\u201d and \u201csteered a federal contract to a new firm run by a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Kelly announced her intention to file the impeachment articles last week, after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jonathan Ross, ICE agent who\u00a0shot Good\u00a0in her car last week in Minneapolis, experienced internal bleeding as a result of the encounter, officials claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In video shot by an eyewitness, Ross and other ICE agents were seen approaching Good\u2019s red Honda Pilot as she blocked a road during an ICE operation. When one of the agents ordered Good to \u201cget out of the f*cking car\u201d and stuck his hands in the vehicle, she tried to drive off. That\u2019s when Ross, who was in front of the car, fired off three shots. Good was pronounced dead a short time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Trump administration has argued that the shooting was justified as self-defense, going so far as to call Good a \u201cderanged leftist\u201d and \u201cdomestic terrorist<\/a>\u201d who was looking to harm federal agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
