The Democratic representative Robin Kelly on Wednesday formally introduced articles of impeachment against Donald Trump’s homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, following the fatal shooting of a US citizen by an immigration agent in Minneapolis last week.

“Secretary Noem has brought her reign of terror to the Chicagoland area, LA, New Orleans, Charlotte, Durham and communities east, north, to south to east to west” Kelly said in a press conference on Wednesday. “She needs to be held accountable for her actions”.

The new push comes amid mounting national outrage over the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, killed at the wheel of her car on a residential street by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during high-octane deployments of law enforcement in cities and towns across the country.

Kelly, an Illinois Democrat, said she filed three articles of impeachment against Noem – obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing – and has the backing of 70 members of Congress.

I fear what other evil degenerate they will put in to replace her !

I worry about how much lower that replacement might go and order shooting of innocent American protesting. Who’s going to stop him and the 🍊💩🐖 going full Nazi Gestapo murderers?

There’s also the psychological message it sends, if we DO do something.

They must not be allowed to beat us because we thought it was useless to fight back. That’s exactly what they want and what they hope for. So much easier to get the opposition to give up without a fight. “No muss, no fuss.”

Well, NOPE!!! HELL NO!!! The LAST thing we should do is give up and hand them an unearned run. I’d rather shove that wishful misconception of theirs right back in their faces and down their throats!

How many times did the GOP vote to overturn ACA knowing it would fail.

Symbols ARE important!

Not sure if it will pass in the Senate ...

We voters need to make phone calls, emails and text messages to our Representatives in EVERY STATE to support this!
