Citing the deadly \u201creign of terror\u201d unleashed<\/a> by President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration<\/a> enforcers against both migrants<\/a> and US citizens, a Democratic congresswoman on Wednesday formally introduced articles of impeachment<\/a> against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Robin Kelly of Illinois filed three articles of impeachment against Noem for alleged obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. The move\u2014which Kelly first announced<\/a> on January 7\u2014 followed last week\u2019s killing of Renee Nicole Good<\/a>, an American citizen, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE) officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristi Noem Goes on TV and Lies Through Her Teeth (Again) About ICE Killing of Renee Nicole Good<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSecretary Noem has brought her reign of terror to the Chicagoland area, LA, New Orleans, Charlotte, Durham, and communities north to south to east to west,\u201d Kelly told reporters at a Wednesday press conference. \u201cShe needs to be held accountable for her actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the House floor earlier, Kelly said that \u201cOperation Midway Blitz has torn apart the Chicagoland area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation, ICE agents shot and killed Silverio Villegas Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a> and then allegedly lied<\/a> about the victim\u2019s behavior in a bid to justify the killing. Federal enforcers have attacked protesters and bystanders with <\/strong>tear gas, pepper balls, flash-bang grenades, and other weapons during Midway Blitz and other operations across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Trump declared war on Chicago and then he brought violence and destruction to our city and our suburbs in the form of immigration enforcement,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my district, federal agents rappelled down from Blackhawk helicopters and burst into an apartment building in the South Shore area,\u201d the congresswoman continued. \u201cThe dragged US citizens and noncitizens alike out of their beds in the middle of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey claim the apartment was infiltrated by members of a Venezuelan gang. I don\u2019t understand this president\u2019s obsession with Venezuela<\/a>, but they did not arrest a single member from that gang,\u201d she added, alluding to Trump\u2019s illegal attacks on the South American country and abduction of its president<\/a> and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on to Minneapolis, Kelly said that \u201can ICE officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in cold blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout knowing any of the facts or an investigation, Secretary Noem lied about what happened<\/a>,\u201d the congresswoman said. \u201cShe called a beloved 37-year-old mom a \u2018domestic terrorist.\u2019 Secretary Noem and her rogue agents are the ones terrorizing our communities, and she is breaking the law to do so. I will hold her accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
