House Democrats on a caucus call concluded in the past 29 minutes urged the resignation or removal of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) stating President Trump should embrace her removal or face impeachment proceedings over Minnesota ICE activities, FEMA issues and other Homeland Security matters, according to X posts by Punchbowl News journalists Jake Sherman and Max Cohen. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz described ICE's activities in Minnesota as illegal during the call, while Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison stated he identified a legal pathway for the state to sue the federal government and obtained a restraining order requiring ICE to preserve evidence, with Ellison scheduled to appear before a federal judge on Monday, per the X posts. Walz and Ellison thanked House Democrats for traveling to Minnesota in support and urged additional members to join, as reported by Sherman and Cohen. Separately, Rep. Katherine Clark noted on the call that any Senate amendments to the DHS funding bill would require House reconsideration, though she said that appears unlikely soon, according to an X post by Cohen citing Bres Reports. The caucus call comments align with prior Democratic opposition to DHS funding without reforms, as expressed earlier today by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Angus King (I-Maine).
