Casten Calls for Noem Impeachment

Washington, D.C. (January 9, 2026) — Today, U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) called for impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and released the following statement:

“Under Kristi Noem’s failed leadership, the Department of Homeland Security has sanctioned the murder and baseless arrest of American citizens, endangered communities throughout Illinois and the United States, subjected human beings to shockingly inhumane conditions in the name of racism and xenophobia, and denied due process to citizens and non-citizens alike.

“The murder of Renee Good is a tragic episode in a story of harm and destruction orchestrated by Secretary Noem and ICE that must not be tolerated anywhere.

“I support immediate Congressional action up to and including impeachment proceedings, but that alone is insufficient. The entire chain of command who have enabled a culture of murder must face justice.”

Yesterday, Rep. Casten spoke on the House floor to demand that House Republicans take accountability for the tragedy in Minneapolis. You can watch his speech by clicking HERE or on the image below:
