Congresswoman Ramirez Leads 71 Members to Demand Hearings on Noem’s Impeachable Offenses

Washington, DC -Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) led 71 members of Congress to demand the House Committee on Judiciary immediately start investigation hearings on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's unlawful and potentially impeachable actions. The letter comes as a follow-up to Ramirez's request to the Committee of Judiciary on December 11, 2025.

"Since the official request was made, the pattern of lawless behavior has continued, culminating on Jan 7, 2026, with the ICE-involved death of 37-year old citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis," wrote the Members of Congress. "As members of Congress, it is our responsibility as public servants charged with the Constitutional duty of oversight to ensure justice and accountability when those who hold public office violate their oath and the laws of the United States of America. We call again on the House Judiciary Committee to fulfill its obligation and conduct a thorough investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful and potentially impeachable actions."

In the official request, the members accuse Secretary Noem of:

• Misusing resources appropriated by Congress and engaging in unethical behavior.
• Repeatedly making false and misleading statements to Congress and to the press.
• Undermining the separation of powers and disregarding the role of Congress and the Courts.

"Under Secretary Kristi Noem's leadership, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has done irreversible harm to our constituents, trampling the rights of all people and disregarding the rule of law. Secretary Noem has established a clear pattern of lawless behavior, mirrored in the behavior of rank-and-file members of her leadership team and enforcement agents," the 72 Members of Congress wrote."When taken together, her actions violate her oath of office."
