The political atmosphere in Washington has reached a fever pitch as more than half of the House Democratic caucus formally moves to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This isn’t just a routine policy disagreement – it’s a high-stakes constitutional showdown over the limits of executive force and the accountability of the administrative state.

Should be given a raise

Paul S.

Let’s set the record straight before the radical left rewrites history again: Don’t blame ICE for the chaos erupting in Minneapolis streets. ICE didn’t create this disasterβ€”they’re the cleanup crew finally showing up to fix the epic, four-year failure engineered by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.Under the previous administration, the southern border was thrown wide open. Record millions poured inβ€”many with criminal records, gang affiliations, or intent to game the system. Sanctuary policies shielded them, welfare fraud exploded, and cities like Minneapolis became magnets for the fallout. Billions vanished into scams while hardworking taxpayers got stuck with the bill. When ICE finally surges in under President Trumpβ€”arresting over 10,000 criminals in Minnesota aloneβ€”the same politicians and activists who cheered the invasion now scream β€œinvasion” at federal agents doing their jobs.The hypocrisy is staggering. Biden-Harris dismantled Remain in Mexico, ended Title 42, slashed deportations, and turned ICE into a paper-pushing agency afraid to act. Result? Overwhelmed communities, skyrocketing crime in sanctuary zones, churches stormed mid-service, agents doxxed and assaulted. Now that Trump’s team is deporting felons, shutting down fraud rings, and restoring order, the left cries foul. They riot, obstruct, and paint ICE as the villainsβ€”because every criminal removed is one less future Democrat voter and one less excuse for their failed policies. ICE isn’t the problem; they’re the solution. They’re the men and women risking their lives to reverse the damage of open-border insanity. Blaming them is like blaming the fire department for the smoke after someone burned down the house. The real culprits are the architects of the flood: Biden, Harris, Walz, Omar, and every politician who prioritized politics over people. Thank God for Trump’s crackdown. Support ICE. Demand accountability for the mess-makers. The cleanup is underwayβ€”no apologies, no retreat. America First means cleaning house, not coddling chaos. Let the left howl; we’re too busy winning back our streets.

I saw exactly what's happened in the video.
That shooting was ridiculous, but um, nothing should happen to the guy

Gordon Winfrey

We need to overcome the corruption and arrest the illegals. I'm not sure what is the best approach but I believe in the law.

Susan K Schulte

She is doing her job and the dems don't like it because they are in the wrong and they are being held accountable for it. They brought all these illegals here and she is sending them back.. Keep going Kristi

Betty Albright-Bistrow

She as well as ICE are doing their job! The people calling for this are radicals. They don't want anyone in their way so they can hide their fraud.

Wynona

If the individuals who were shot had not been interfering in a law enforcement operation, and used lethal resistance, they would not have been shot. When the leadership of Minneapolis starts being honest and cooperates with ICE, this type behavior will stop. Ms. Noem and ICE are doing a fabulous job.

Larryricher

Tim waltz has destroyed that state. It's all because of him. Everything is happening.
He's not running because she knows he's going to go to prison anyways

Wynona

What was the Demonrat Congressional Caucus doing when black lives matter was rioting, burning businesses, cop cars, and government buildings? Sitting on their hands laughing. Just another example of democrats being hypocrites.

Dale Edwards

She is doing a great job the democrats willn't
stand up and depot the illegals/ that Bodan %Harris let in villeting the LAW!!! All bthe denorats can do is run their mouths!!!

Geri Villegas

She might be doing Trump’s bidding, but the recent killings – and let’s be honest they are killings of US citizens- shows that Homeland Security is out of control. Proper immigration and resulting deportations should not result in people losing their lives, period. The US is better than that.

Kathy

Those people had no business interfering with the Law.

Sephora

The far left is not running this country, thank God. Too many protesting when they shouldn't be. Let ICE do their job. If we back down everytime the left, who by the way act on emotion and don't bother to see other side as they most often do is following the rule of law. And if they had not chosen to act out enticed by paid protestors and activists we would never have seen this type of reaction. The left has done nothing but incite and riot.

Kevin Cossentine

IF MN leaders were doing their sworn duty, ICE nor any other federal agents, would and to be here. Instead of doing the right thing, those corrupt leaders are blaming the feds for the chaos we've been seeing which is the typical Liberal SOP. All of them need to be rounded up and deported with all the illegals and dangerous criminals.

Wyn

These damn Dems NEVER refer to American Citizens, killed, maimed or raped by these illegals. When I've watched any of them speak, lecture?, give press conferences NO ONCE have they EVER mentioned any of the America Citizens whose lives have been irreparably harmed by these people!

Donald OConnor

ICE is too patient with these mobs trying to harm them. More pepper spray, shock guns and clubs. They are enforcing our laws. ICE is not the bad guys, What is wrong with the Libs?

Martin Hernandez

She is only doing what the majority of U.S citizens voted to uphold- the law.

Banacheck

If the Communist Democrats would have secured the border under Biden, we wouldn't have this problem. They need to impeach Tampon Timmy and his gang of crooks. If the woman and man hadn't tried to interfere with the ICE agents, they'd still be alive. Play with the bull and you'll get the horn. Deport all the illegals. Give ICE and Noem a raise. The protesters are the problem not ICE or Noem.

Shawn C.

ICE DID NOT CREATE THIS PROBLEM, AS STATED BEFORE, WHO IS BANKROLLING THESE PROTESTS?? AND WHY ARE PEOPLE BRINGING GUNS TO PROTESTS?? GOTTA STOP WITH THE BULL AND SEE THE TRUTH HERE FINALLY. WE VOTED TRUMP IN TO GET THE ILLEGALS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. NEED TO SHUT DOWN WHOMEVER IS BANKROLLING THESE "PROTESTS" AND PUT THAT PERSON OR PERSONS IN JAIL FOR STARTING THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diane

What the left is doing is an organized insurrection. Thiais what an insurrection looks like. The governor with his rhetoric is not helping.
Ice is in many other staes and cities and there isn’t the problem that there is in Minnesota. It’s a distraction for the fraud.

Doris Eckhart

These Democrats have to leave Kristi Noem and the ICE agents do their jobs. We the American citizens voted for the removal of all illegal immigrants. If you want to live here, come here through the legal system.

TX batman

Tell Sanctuary cities to stop blocking the federal authority, stop inciting violent attacks against LOE, and this will not happen

Gary Koopman

if democrats stopped opposing everything put up for the betterment of this country & its legal citizens instead of voting against the proposed bills and resolutions because they dislike Trump, what a great strong and less abusive cohesive society we'd have. probably other countries would see how well our citizens form a better less aggressive free Republic. God Bless us all !!

NO!!! She is doing her job and so is ICE. This would ALL be immaterial had the Biden Administration had not opened our Border.

Steve Salonen

We need to impeach her and get her out of our government NOW!

Send Omar home – Walz can escort her and STAY!

Send Omar home (stripped of fake citizenship) – Walz can escort her and STAY THERE!

David W

She is doing an excellent job. If you are protesting the legal action of the Law Enforcement agency in charge; if you break the law, you should be arrested and charged!
Not protesting, STAY HOME!!!

PAT

CONTINUE TO UPHOLD THE LAW… HOWEVER, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT STRINGENT ENOUGH!!

Pat

Are our ICE agents being trained by IDF in junkets to Israel? If true, why?

Pat

Are ICE agents being trained by IDF in junkets to Israel? If Yes, why?

Steve boyd

When democrats are held accountable for their corruption, then perhaps this mistake may require a review, otherwise, she is doing her job…

James Colwell

Congress needs to stop weaponizing the Constitution because they don't like somebody. Impeachment is a serious allegation and those who throw it around are simply asking for trouble when the shoe is on the other foot. Members of Congress as well as all other branches of government, elected or appointed need to remember why they are there. You all work for us. The last thing you should be doing is trying to stay in those positions or striving for better ones.

Carl Leininger

The ones prosecuted should be the BIDEN bunch.

Rosa Peralta

Stop the lawless ex democrats they are communist bolchevick anarchists pro criminals illegals they are the enemy from within. Stand with ICE fire the democrats

Brenda Baker

The problem is with Waltz and the other Governors that are anti-American. We need to round them up along with Whoopi and other Anti-Americans that are antagonizing the illegals that our previous administration allowed to infiltrate our country. President Washington would be disappointed in the present situation.

Joan

Is Walz behind all the trouble that we are seeing. I wonder who is paying the protesters? They are too organized to be organic.

carl

No such thing as peaceful protest democrats have caused all these problems a takeover in the works has been since the 1930s

The Nose Whistler

Kristie Noem and ICE are doing a great job. If Open Border Insurrectionist Democrats hadn't flooded the country with millions of criminal illegals none of this would be necessary. Democrats can go fuck themselves.

Dunaway

Noem and Ice are doing their jobs. If the Dem's want the activist violence to stop, stop the sanctuary stupidity and support them.

Bill Lake

Why do we have Border Patrol in cities that are not on the borders of the US? This not needed!

DICK

DOING A GREAT JOB/AFTER THE ASSHOLE MANO B0RDER SAFE CRAP DEMOS OR REPUBS NEVER INPEACH HIM .SHE IS OUT FRONT NOT HIDDING.

Chester WOOD

We as Americans that's American should not interfere in protest like what's going on now everyone it seems that is protest are joining the illegals that suck our money we as taxpayers to live of of they get free housing in some instances a check if your 100 percent American in citizenship stay away protest

Chuck Young

They were given an impossible task and are doing a great job. Anyone that thought trying to get rid of all the illegal immagrants was going to happen without a hitch, is crazy. They have done so much already in a short amount of time. Leave them alone and let them do their jobs.

Doc Barton

Get the Country on the "By and FOR the people" & & & No Commie's in government..

Richard

If over half of the democrats support it, it hast to be a bad idea.

Ron Kelley

If the governor and mayor shut their big mouths, have the local police help I.C.E. do their job and remove the criminals, it would have been quiet and no would have been hurt.

robert

ICE is doing its job as Federal Immigration Enforcement, and it is necessary due to the estimated 14 MILLION new illegal entries under the BIDEN administration.

The Allegations: Operation Metro Surge Under Fire

The drive to remove Secretary Noem stems from the administration’s aggressive domestic immigration enforcement, specifically the controversial “Operation Metro Surge.” House Democrats, led by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argue that Noem has overseen a “pattern of lawlessness” that has resulted in the deaths of civilians on American soil. The fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have transformed from local tragedies into the primary evidence for Articles of Impeachment.

Critics in the House allege that Noem has violated her oath of office by deploying federal agents in a manner that “subverts state sovereignty” and ignores the due process protections of the 14th Amendment. The resolution specifically cites the refusal of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate with state leaders in Minnesota, characterizing the surge as a “politically motivated occupation” rather than a legitimate law enforcement action.

For the constitutional watchdog, the question isn’t whether the policy is popular, but whether it meets the high bar of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The administration maintains that Noem is simply executing the President’s mandate to secure the interior. However, the opposition argues that when an executive officer uses their authority to bypass judicial oversight and intimidate local governments, they have abandoned the “Good Behavior” required of their station.

Historical Tidbits: The Rarity of Cabinet Impeachment

To understand the gravity of this move, one must look at how infrequently Congress has reached for this particular tool. In nearly 250 years of American history, the impeachment of a Cabinet official remains a constitutional “nuclear option” that has rarely been successfully detonated.

  • 1876: William Belknap – The Secretary of War was impeached by the House for “basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain” after it was discovered he took kickbacks from a government contract. He resigned just minutes before the vote, but the Senate held a trial anyway.
  • 2024: Alejandro Mayorkas – In a precursor to the current friction, Secretary Mayorkas was impeached on a party-line vote for a “willful and system refusal to comply with the law” regarding border security. The Senate ultimately dismissed the charges without a trial.
  • The Standard – Historically, impeachment has been reserved for corruption or criminal acts, but the Noem resolution seeks to expand this to “systemic constitutional violations” and the “abuse of executive force.”

The Math: Speaker Johnson’s Razor – Thin Margin

The momentum for Noem’s impeachment is colliding with a brutal mathematical reality in the House. Speaker Mike Johnson is currently managing a majority so thin that a single defection can stall any legislative counter-move. With over 110 Democrats already signed on to the resolution, the opposition needs only a handful of Republican “defectors” or absences to force a floor vote that could embarrass the administration.

The Democratic strategy appears to be a dual-track assault. While they lack the two – thirds majority in the Senate required for a conviction, the House proceedings allow them to place Secretary Noem’s “playbook of brutality” under a national microscope. By forcing a public trial, they aim to create a political cost for the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act and other wartime powers in domestic settings.

  • The Pro-Impeachment Bloc: Now includes more than half of the Democratic caucus, including moderate members who previously hesitated to back such an extreme measure.
  • The GOP Defense: Characterizes the move as a “baseless political stunt” designed to interfere with the President’s constitutional duty to enforce immigration law.
  • The Swing Votes: A few remaining “Republicans in Name Only” (RINOs) in suburban districts are under intense pressure from activists to support an inquiry into the Minneapolis shootings.

Constitutional Interpretation: What is a “High Crime”?

The debate over Noem’s future ultimately rests on the interpretation of Article II, Section 4. The Founders purposely left the definition of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” vague to allow Congress to address unique threats to the republic. However, this vagueness has led to a century – long tug-of-war between the branches.

Is it a “High Crime” to implement an aggressive policy that a state governor opposes? Or does the crime lie in the “extortionate” use of federal force to demand access to state voter rolls, as alleged in the Minnesota lawsuit? If the House determines that Noem used the DHS as a private political “army” to subvert the 10th Amendment, they may argue that she has committed a fundamental breach of the constitutional order.

The administration’s defense relies on the Supremacy Clause, arguing that federal immigration enforcement cannot be “reined in” by a state or a partisan House caucus. They contend that as long as Noem is following the President’s orders, her actions are shielded by executive privilege. This sets up a classic “Unstoppable Force vs. Immovable Object” scenario: the President’s power to execute the law versus Congress’s power to punish the executors.

The Humanitarian and Civil Rights Angle

Beyond the legal jargon, the impeachment push is fueled by the visceral imagery coming out of Minnesota. The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good have become symbols of what the opposition calls the “Dystopian DHS.” By targeting Noem, Democrats are signaling that they will not tolerate a “return to the 1798 standard” of summary removals and militarized streets.

  • Public Outcry: Thousands of “anti – ICE” protesters have converged on Washington, demanding Noem’s immediate resignation.
  • Whistleblower Testimony: Recent disclosures from individuals like Charles Borges have added fuel to the fire, suggesting that the DHS is not just aggressive on the streets, but also “cavalier” with private citizen data.
  • The “Rule of Law” Argument: Republicans argue that “true” law and order requires the removal of illegal aliens, while Democrats argue it requires the removal of “rogue” officials who ignore the Fourth Amendment.

A Precedent for the Administrative State

The outcome of this impeachment drive will define the relationship between Congress and the Administrative State for the remainder of the term. If Noem is successfully impeached by the House, it will signal a new era of “aggressive oversight” where Cabinet secretaries are held personally liable for the tactical decisions of their agents.

If the effort fails, it will likely be seen as a green light for the administration to expand Operation Metro Surge into other cities. The “James” perspective is clear: the Constitution provides the tools for accountability, but it is up to the people’s representatives to decide if they have the stomach to use them. The $1.2 trillion funding battle and the Noem impeachment are two halves of the same coin – a desperate attempt by Article I to regain control over an Article II branch that is moving at high speed.

“Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis,” Senator Chris Murphy noted, bridging the gap between the budget fight and the impeachment effort.

As the House Judiciary Committee prepares to draft formal articles, the nation is watching a constitutional engine under maximum pressure. The resolution against Kristi Noem is more than a list of grievances; it is a test of whether the separation of powers is a living reality or a historical relic.
