Frustration with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is mounting among House Republicans over her response to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. Why it matters: They soon could soon be forced to go on the record about whether they still support Noem if Democrats move to force a vote on impeachment.

I think that what she’s done in Minnesota should be disqualifying,” Tillis (R-NC) told reporters on Capitol Hill.

In a statement on X, Curtis said officials who rush to conclusions before all the facts are known “undermine public trust and the law-enforcement mission,” distancing himself from Noem’s early Department of Homeland Security response to the incident.

What started as sharp criticism of the Homeland Security secretary, and a longshot move by Democratic lawmakers signing onto impeachment legislation in the Republican-controlled House, has morphed into an inflection point for Noem, who has been the high-profile face of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement regime.

Top Democrats in Congress are plunging into an impeachment fight with Kristi Noem, as even some moderate Republicans say they’ve lost faith in the embattled Department of Homeland Security chief – upping the pressure on the administration over what they see as a complete failure in Minnesota.

House Republicans slam Democratic push to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as "partisan stunt," citing lack of unified support from Democratic caucus.
