AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and send three articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate for trial. Article I charges obstruction of Congress, citing a policy requiring Members of Congress to give seven days' notice before visiting immigration detention facilities, denials of entry to Members, and FEMA withholding funds that the Government Accountability Office found violated the Impoundment Control Act. Article II charges violation of public trust, citing warrantless arrests, use of tear gas, and shootings by immigration agents, including in Chicago. Article III charges self-dealing, citing the use of a national emergency to skip competitive bidding on contracts for a $200 million ICE recruiting ad campaign.
