House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be removed from office following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
Jeffries criticized Noem’s handling of the incident and her public response, saying she has shown poor judgment and is not fit to lead the Department of Homeland Security. He said her leadership failed to provide accountability in the aftermath of the shooting, which has drawn national attention and sparked protests.
Good, a 37 year old American citizen, was killed during the ICE operation, turning the incident into a flashpoint in the broader debate over immigration enforcement and the use of force by federal agents.
Noem and DHS officials have defended their actions, while Democratic lawmakers continue to call for investigations and leadership changes as the case remains under review.
