## Summary

**Accountability for alleged DHS abuses and misuse of funds.** This resolution would impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem on three articles alleging obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. - Families and migrants: The resolution documents alleged widespread warrantless arrests, militarized raids, the use of tear gas on children at a Halloween parade, and a fatal shooting by an ICE agent. - Members of Congress and oversight staff: It alleges repeated refusals to allow visits to DHS detention facilities and an implemented requirement of a minimum seven calendar days notice for inspections, and it cites FEMA withholding funds in violation of law. - Taxpayers and contractors: The resolution accuses Noem of steering federal contracts and spending to political allies, including a $200 million ad campaign and awards that bypassed normal competitive processes.
