One Hundred Democrats Have Now Signed To Co-Sponsor Articles Of Impeachment Against Kristi Noem
The articles accuse Noem of three counts: Obstruction of Congress, Violation of public trust and Self-dealing
One hundred House Democrats have now signed to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the lawmaker who introduced the bill said.
Rep. Robin Kelly said in a press release that the amount of lawmakers who signed on doubled compared to last week. She said the support is a result of people seeing "ICE's Gestapo-like tactics firsthand."
"As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people's civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows. I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to be on the right side of the law and our Constitution," she added. The number of co-sponsor amounts to almost half of all the Democratic caucus, which has 2013 members. Kelly expects the number to grow further.
The initiative has has garnered far more support than other such attempts as criticism of Noem surged after the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
