New Democrat Coalition Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10) joined Democratic Women's Caucus (DWC) Chair Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-03), Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Yvette Clark (NY-09), Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) Chair Grace Meng (NY-06), and Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) Chair Greg Casar (TX-35) alongside more than 50 Members of the House Democratic Caucus to call for the firing of Secretary Kristi Noem outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In his remarks, Chair Schneider outlined the systemic abuse and constitutional violations of DHS under Noem and demanded her immediate removal from office. Schneider also called for comprehensive DHS reform, laying out the list of demands announced last week alongside CPC Chair Casar.

I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues from across the House Democratic Caucus to defend the rights and freedoms of the American people, and the foundational principles that have defined our nation and determined our character.

We’re here today to deliver one, unified message: Kristi Noem has got to go.

In this episode, host Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) and guest host Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-06) are joined by Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig (MN-02) for a wide-ranging conversation about the occupation of Minneapolis by DHS agents, what’s really happening on the ground since the killing of Alex Pretti and Renée Nicole Good, and the path forward for DHS reforms in Congress.

Congresswoman Craig gives her first-person accounts of the incredible resilience of the Minneapolis community and shares harrowing stories of ICE and CBP abuses, then the group discusses the ongoing debate in Congress about reining in DHS operations through government funding legislation.

The three members then react to a clip of Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) bashing Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller and talk through the need for accountability at the top of the Administration. To wrap the episode, the group shines a light on some of the biggest stories that haven’t been covered enough: the struggles of American farmers and Trump’s threats of election interference.
