Democrats ramped up their demands for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following two fatal shootings in Minneapolis involving ICE agents.

CONTENT:

The past week has seen an escalating crisis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the Democratic Party has intensified its calls for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's dismissal following two fatal shootings involving ICE agents. These incidents have stoked tensions between the Democrats and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with some members of Congress even initiating impeachment proceedings against Noem.

According to reports from The Guardian, on January 24, 2026, Alex Pretti, a US citizen, was shot and killed during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis. Previously, on January 18, 2026, Renee Good, another US citizen, was also shot and killed during an ICE raid in the city. Both shootings have raised concerns among Democrats about the need for increased oversight of ICE and the role of Noem's leadership in these incidents.

In response to these fatal shootings, Senate Democrats announced their intention to block a measure funding the Department of Homeland Security, citing the inclusion of funds for ICE as their primary concern. Additionally, House lawmakers have signed on to an impeachment attempt against Noem, marking a significant escalation in the political fallout from the Minneapolis ICE operations.

Senators from across the ideological spectrum have weighed in on the issue, with some arguing that Noem's handling of these incidents warrants her removal from office. "The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good are a tragic reminder of the dangerous and reckless policies being pursued by the Trump administration," said Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in a statement. "Secretary Noem must be held accountable for her role in these senseless shootings, and it's time for her to be fired."

The push to remove Noem from her position comes as tensions between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration continue to escalate over issues related to immigration and border security. The ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, combined with the controversial ICE operations in Minneapolis, has fueled a growing sense of urgency among Democrats to take action against Noem and the Trump administration's immigration policies.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the White House will respond to these calls for Noem's resignation and the ongoing efforts to block DHS funding. Regardless, one thing is clear: the political fallout from these fatal shootings in Minneapolis is far from over.
