Democrats Impeach DHS Secretary Who Apparently Controls Noem Now

KEY POINTS

•By Tuesday, 162 House Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Robin Kelly, co-sponsored articles to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
•Swing-district Dem centrists like Vicente Gonzalez and Susie Lee joined despite earlier supportive votes for DHS funding or private opposition.
•Despite Democratic momentum, impeachment lacks Republican backing necessary for passage in the Republican-led House and Senate.

On Tuesday, House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and star impeachment quarterback Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), pushed the DHS Secretary Kristi Noem impeachment effort skyward to 162 co-sponsors. This includes surprising coalition-builders like swing district centrists Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), who previously voted for DHS funding, and Susie Lee (D-NV), who once argued against impeachment votes—because bipartisan confusion is the new unity. Former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is nostalgically joining too, rounding out this crossover political parade. Despite all the fanfare, not a lick of Republican backing exists, a slight obstacle given their House majority and Senate supermajority rules. Trump shrugged it off on Fox, blaming a wrong exit turn, cementing "Impeach him for parking wrong" as the new GOP slogan.
