US Politicians Tell Trump to Fire Homeland Security Secretary or Face Impeachment Proceedings
A stern warning has been issued by top Democrats to President Donald Trump, demanding that he either fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem or face impeachment proceedings. The ultimatum comes after a majority of the House Democratic caucus signed on to articles of impeachment in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both US citizens fatally shot by federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
The violent actions by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith, with Kristi Noem being held accountable immediately, according to Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, along with his deputies Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar. If Trump fails to comply, they will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.
Trump has shown support for Noem earlier in the day, stating that she is doing a "very good job" on border security. However, Republican senators Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis have also called for her resignation from her post.
This development comes as the Trump administration reshuffles leadership of its immigration enforcement operation and scales back federal presence after a second fatal shooting by officers. The border patrol commander who became the public face of the crackdown in Minneapolis is expected to leave the city on Tuesday.
The situation highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding US immigration policies, with critics accusing the government of using excessive force against migrants.

it's just not right that politicians are threatening someone's job like this. I mean, what even is an ultimatum? It feels like a really intense and stressful situation for everyone involved 
. And can we talk about how much of a power imbalance there is here? Like, the House Minority Leader and his deputies are basically saying "do this or face consequences", but they're not in Kristi Noem's shoes at all... it just doesn't feel fair to me 
. We need to have more constructive conversations about immigration policies that actually help people, not just make headlines 
. I mean come on, firing her or facing impeachment? Can't they just have a normal conversation about this? It's like they're trying to make an example out of someone. And what's with the Republican senators who are now calling for her resignation? Just another layer of drama 
.
come on guys, impeachment proceedings? it's just politics as usual 
no matter what happens, kristi noem is still gonna do her job and trump is still gonna tweet about it 
meanwhile, we got real issues to deal with like the fact that border patrol agents are using excessive force against migrants... lets focus on fixing that before we start playing politician games 
, firing Noem or facing impeachment is a pretty clear message from Dem leaders 
. I'm so tired of these politicians playing games and not actually solving problems 
. Immigration reform should be about people, not just politics 
. This whole thing is super worrying for all the undocumented folks who are just trying to live their lives 
. Fire Noem or face impeachment - no more excuses!
