Democrats Debate Ousting DHS Chief as Congress Suddenly Loves Impeachment Again

KEY POINTS

•After shootings in Minneapolis and Portland, Democrats like Rep. Delia Ramirez pushed harder for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's impeachment.
•Rep. Brad Schneider announced willingness to support impeachment if Noem is not removed, while Rep. Robin Kelly plans articles of impeachment.
•Despite growing calls, several Democrats remain hesitant, citing a need for investigations and lack of Republican support in Congress.

After a shooting in Minneapolis and Portland, Democrats rediscovered impeachment like it was a remote lost under couch cushions since Trump took office last January. Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), mother-of-three sympathizer, lamented a white woman got shot in the face as if that’s the only thing that changes everything at DHS. Rep. Brad Schneider, leader of the moderate-sounding New Democrat Coalition, threatened to back impeachment if Kristi Noem isn’t ousted, warning of consequences like a ‘serious nightmare’ but with more paperwork. Meanwhile, Rep. Robin Kelly, juggling her Senate run, promised articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice but DHS called it ‘silly during a serious time,’ probably after a long day of paperwork and existential dread. Centrist Dems mumble about investigations first while Rep. Jared Golden keeps it simple with a flat ‘No.’ With GOP Congress in charge, reps like Jamie Raskin admit hearings won’t happen unless Republicans suddenly develop a sense of justice, which apparently requires a miracle stronger than January’s weather.
