Congresswoman Ramirez Takes First Step Towards Impeachment of DHS Secretary Noem

Washington, DC— Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) requested that the House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin conduct a complete investigation into the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's unlawful and potentially impeachable actions. 

“Secretary Noem, you have misused resources appropriated by Congress and engaged in unethical behavior. You have repeatedly made false and misleading statements to Congress and to the press. And you have undermined the separation of powers and disregarded the role of Congress and the Courts. Bottom line: you LIE, act with impunity, reject checks and balances, and ignore Congress and the Courts,” said Ramirez during the hearing. “Your options are limited. You either resign, Trump fires you, or you will be impeached.”

“I urge you to reconsider resignation, because I have taken the first step towards your impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into your lawlessness,” added Ramirez, who was the first member of Congress to demand Secretary Noem's resignation, back in April, and personally handed the letter to Noem on May 14.
