House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said House Democrats would begin impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem if President Trump does not fire her.
“Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives,” Jeffries said in a statement.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” he added.
Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

CBS News explained further:
Democratic Rep. Robin Kelly of Illinois introduced an impeachment resolution on Jan. 14, a week after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. The impeachment effort has picked up steam since Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday.
As of Monday afternoon, more than 140 of the 213 House Democrats had signed on to Rep. Robin Kelly’s resolution to impeach Noem, according to a spokesperson for Kelly.
A simple majority is needed for impeachment, meaning at least three House Republicans would need to vote with all Democrats to approve any articles of impeachment, which is highly unlikely. Even if the effort made it out of the House, it would face steep odds in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to convict and remove an official from office.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, on Tuesday called on the panel’s Republican chairman to “immediately commence” impeachment proceedings to remove Noem from her position.
If GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio refuses to do so, Raskin said he would work with the top Democrats on the House Oversight Committee and House Homeland Security Committee “to immediately launch a complete oversight and impeachment inquiry into all potential constitutional crimes committed by Secretary Noem related to these homicides as well as to other episodes of bureaucratic lawlessness and corruption that may involve treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Reporters asked Trump if Noem would step down from her position.
“No,” he responded.

Axios has more:
Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), one of the seven swing-district centrists who infuriated their party last week by voting for a DHS funding bill, signed on as a co-sponsor.
Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), who represents battleground-district members in leadership and privately argued against forcing a Noem impeachment vote, also signed on, as she announced she would on Monday.
Several other swing-district members are also on the list of new co-sponsors — Reps. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.), Frank Mrvan (D-Ind.) and Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) — as is former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).
