Hill Democrats - and even some Republicans - plot an exit for Noem
(CNN) Top Democrats in Congress are plunging into an impeachment fight with Kristi Noem, as even some moderate Republicans say they’ve lost faith in the embattled Department of Homeland Security chief – upping the pressure on the administration over what they see as a complete failure in Minnesota.
In a joint statement, the top three House Democrats announced they would soon support a vote to impeach Noem — which they can trigger without any GOP support — unless Trump immediately moved to fire her following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti.

In an extraordinary step for House Democratic leaders, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his team issued a blunt statement threatening impeachment after weeks of trying to steer their members away from such talk, which they saw largely as a distraction given the GOP’s fierce loyalty to the president.
“Taxpayer dollars are being weaponized by the Trump administration to kill American citizens, brutalize communities and violently target law-abiding immigrant families. The country is disgusted by what the Department of Homeland Security has done,” they charged in the scathing statement that painted the pair of recent deaths in Minnesota as an immoral “killing spree.”
