Rep. Bera Signs Impeachment Articles Against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA — Today, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released a statement after cosponsoring articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem: 

“Under Secretary Noem’s watch, we have witnessed federal agents carry out warrantless raids, detain U.S. citizens without cause, and use deadly force unjustifiably on the streets of American cities. 

"Rather than take responsibility and pursue accountability, Secretary Noem has repeatedly lied to the American people and obstructed comprehensive and transparent investigations from taking place. 

“President Trump has shown no willingness to fire Secretary Noem. That leaves Congress with no choice but to act. That is why I am sponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem.

“The Department of Homeland Security was created to keep Americans safe. Secretary Noem has turned it into an agency that millions now fear. We must restore leadership at DHS that respects the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law.”
