Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin called for the resignation, firing, or impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday, escalating Democratic opposition to federal immigration enforcement tactics that led to the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis this month.
The Holly Democrat delivered a scathing floor speech targeting Noem’s leadership after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good during immigration operations.
Democrats argue the funding fight is necessary to force accountability for federal enforcement actions.
Federal agents involved in Pretti’s shooting were eventually placed on administrative leave, but not until after Noem’s public statements.
What happens nextThe funding crisis spotlights the tensions over immigration enforcement tactics since Trump returned to office.
