Beginning on Jan. 7, 2026, U.S. Congresswoman Robin Kelly, a state representative for Illinois, announced plans to formally raise charges against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Following the death of Renee Nicole Good, Kelly intends to impeach Noem on three articles of impeachment in response to the recent ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good under the Trump Administration.
Raising three articles of impeachment on the grounds of obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing, Kelly’s announcement to impeach Kelly continues today, on Jan. 14, 2026. With a total of 70 Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives, including Kelly, members of Congress intend to sign three articles of impeachment against Noem, according to Fox News.
Citing Kelly’s actions directly, U.S. Congresswoman Robin Kelly said the following:
“Secretary Noem, you have violated your oath of office, and there will be consequences. I am watching you. Members of Congress are watching you. The American people, most importantly, are watching you.”
Additionally, Kelly continues her sentiments in the following statement against Noem:
“Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good. 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. I told my constituents and Chicagoans that I would fight against Secretary Noem’s agenda. This is me fighting back.”
