Illinois Rep. Robin Kelly to File Articles of Impeachment Against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

HeadlineJan 08, 2026

Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Robin Kelly has announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in the wake of Wednesday’s fatal shooting by an ICE officer, calling her an “incompetent leader” and “a disgrace to our democracy.” Kelly’s three articles of impeachment allege Noem has engaged in obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. Kelly wrote in a statement, “From Chicago to Charlotte to Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Secretary Noem is violating the Constitution while ruining — and ending — lives, and separating families. It’s one thing to be incompetent and dangerous, but it’s impeachable to break the rule of law.”
