I am writing to urge you to support Representative Robin Kelly's impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis represents a tragic consequence of leadership that has prioritized aggressive enforcement over constitutional protections and public safety. Representative Kelly has outlined three compelling articles of impeachment that deserve your careful consideration and support. The first article addresses obstruction of Congress, alleging that Secretary Noem willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law. This undermines the fundamental checks and balances that protect our democracy. The second article concerns violation of public trust. Secretary Noem has allegedly compromised public safety, violated due process rights of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions across multiple cities including Chicago, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. When a Cabinet secretary directs operations that result in the death of constituents like Renee Nicole Good and separates families without regard for constitutional protections, accountability is essential. The third article addresses self-dealing, accusing Secretary Noem of abusing her office for personal benefit and steering federal dollars to associates. This represents a fundamental betrayal of the public trust placed in federal officials. While incompetence and dangerous policies are serious concerns, Representative Kelly correctly identifies that breaking the rule of law rises to the level of impeachable conduct. Our Constitution provides impeachment as the remedy when executive branch officials violate their oaths and abuse their power. I ask that you publicly support these impeachment articles and work with your colleagues to hold Secretary Noem accountable for her actions. The lives and constitutional rights of your constituents depend on Congress exercising its oversight authority when Cabinet officials violate the law and public trust.
