WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Ranking Member of the Immigration, Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee, released the following statement on the firing of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. “Good riddance. I called for Secretary Noem to be fired, to resign, or to be impeached yesterday, and now she has been. “Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS that killed two Americans in the street, put children in prison camps, separated families, detained US citizens, led to 41 deaths in custody, and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars. “Congress still cannot fund DHS until there is real, tangible proof that this will be a meaningful, structural change.”
