Hmmm. This is new, unexpected, and something for the ‘good side’. Noem needs to watch her step because Congresspersons have said ‘enough already’. It’s probably not going to happen, but damn, the thought of this might just put a smile on your face. Kristi is in verbal jeopardy at the moment, and we need help from ‘the other side’. Let’s have a look. Thank you, Raw Story:
U.S. House Democrats Wednesday introduced three articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, after a deadly shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to States Newsroom’s request for comment. The three articles of impeachment were introduced by Illinois Democratic Rep. Robin Kelly. Nearly 70 Democrats have co-signed, but as the minority party in both chambers, any support or movement for the articles will likely only occur if Democrats win the midterm elections and flip the House.
Isn’t this fascinating? Even if we don’t get any help to push this through, Krispi has been put on notice and had better chill out on the lies, lies, lies press conferences. She’s truly getting out of hand. And Trump should just give it up and fire her; she’s embarrassing him. Of course, there might have been a Trump-Noem column written yesterday.
“She needs to be held accountable for her actions,” Kelly said. “Renee Nicole Good is dead because Secretary Noem allowed her DHS agents to run amok.” The articles from Kelly accuse Noem of obstructing Congress after lawmakers were denied oversight visits at DHS facilities that hold immigrants; violating public trust through due process violations of U.S. citizens’ and immigrants’ rights and aggressive warrantless arrests in immigration enforcement; and misusing $200 million in taxpayer funds by awarding a contract to a company run by the husband of DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, according to ProPublica.
Run amok seems to almost be an understatement. They’ve gone berserk, drunk on power, hidden faces, and the liberty to do as they please. They don’t give a damn about any person they could choose to intimidate, arrest, and abuse. *No one* is safe anymore, which was proven to be true when an asshole had a twitchy finger and killed a *white* woman. These people need to get reined in, and hard!
A federal judge is currently probing to see if the new policy from Noem violates her court order from December. Kelly was joined by several Democrats, including Minnesota’s Angie Craig, who represents a swing district. “We are being terrorized by Homeland Security and ICE,” Craig said. “This has crossed a line. This rogue agency is violating the rights of American citizens in our communities, and last Wednesday … the escalation by ICE in our communities got Renee Good killed.” Noem would not be the only Homeland Secretary to be impeached, should the House take that action.
Okay, Republicans who are leaving, give us a hand here, please. We know we have to get both the House and the Senate to have enough people on board to get her back under control. If we can do that (personally, I’m not going to say anything out loud), then it might be possible to get ICE back under control. We might have a tough time getting Stephen Miller on the ‘under control’ people. He’s the one who set such a ridiculously high daily quota. Seems like ICE wouldn’t have turned into this giant slavering … thing if Miller weren’t such a dick who decided to throw away the rules for CBP and ICE. Who knows these days? It’s all guesswork and bracing for the next ‘explosion’.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
