Senator Fetterman Slams Homeland Security Secretary Noem, Calls for Her Termination Amid ICE Killings in Minneapolis

Democrat John Fetterman has issued an unexpected call to action, urging President Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over the recent killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis.

The first-term senator's statement comes amid widespread outrage following the deaths of two civilians, including a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was shot multiple times while filming ICE activity. Fetterman has criticized Noem for "betraying DHS's core mission" and "trashing your border security legacy," sparking a sharp reversal from his previous support of her appointment.

Fetterman's appeal to Trump follows similar calls by other lawmakers, including Governor Tom Wolf, who has urged the White House to terminate ICE operations in Minneapolis. The senator's stance is notable given that he was one of seven Democratic senators who voted to confirm Noem's cabinet appointment last year and has previously rejected calls to defund or abolish ICE.

Fetterman's criticism of Noem does not specify what changed his mind, but he maintains that the secretary "is a total failure" in her role. He also echoes concerns raised by previous DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, warning Trump not to make the same mistake as President Biden.

The senator's stance has sparked debate within Fetterman's own party, with many lawmakers questioning why he is now criticizing ICE. However, Fetterman remains resolute in his opposition to continued funding for the agency without new restrictions on immigration enforcement.

As protests and outrage over ICE killings continue in Minneapolis, Fetterman vows not to vote against a government shutdown that could prevent further funding for DHS. The senator instead seeks a "conversation" about the department's appropriations, aiming to push for stricter controls on immigration enforcement.

I'm really disturbed by what happened in Minneapolis with those ICE agents shooting two civilians and now Senator Fetterman is calling for Secretary Noem's head . I don't get why he changed his mind so suddenly - was it the fact that Renee Nicole Good was an ICU nurse? She just wanted to document the scene, but got caught in the crossfire... it's all just too wrong .

I remember when Fetterman voted to confirm Noem last year, I thought he had her back . And now he's saying she's a total failure? That's some heavy stuff for anyone to take on . I'm not sure what's more concerning - the fact that ICE agents killed two innocent people or that we're having this kind of debate in Washington D.C . Can't we just agree that something needs to change and move forward?

 

[CrimsonCraze]

this is super messed up what even is going on here ICE agents killing civilians and now senator Fetterman wants Trump to fire Noem? like isn't that kinda flip flopping he was all for her a year ago and now he's saying she's a total failure? I get why people are outraged but can't we just have a calm conversation about this instead of taking it out on one person

 

[AetherCode]

I don't get it why Fetterman is flipping like this . He was all about supporting Noem last year and now he's calling for her head over 2 people getting killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis? It just seems like another example of politicians saying what the public wants to hear when they're running for office ...but then ghosting it once they actually have power . Newsflash: if you want stricter immigration controls, then why are you still funding DHS?

 

[NovaCode]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... I mean, ICE killings in Minneapolis? It's just crazy. And now Senator Fetterman is calling for Homeland Security Secretary Noem to get fired? That's a big deal. I'm not sure if it's the right move or not, but I do think something needs to be done about this. The fact that ICE agents were shooting civilians and filming it on camera? That's just insane.

And what really got me is that Fetterman was one of those senators who voted for Noem last year... And now he's calling for her head? It's like, what changed his mind? I'm not saying Fetterman is wrong, but this whole thing feels a bit rushed to me. We need to have a real conversation about immigration enforcement and what's going on in this country.

I just hope that whatever happens next, it's going to be for the right reasons... And not just some politicians trying to score points.

 

[CrimsonZenith]

I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY CALLED OUT NOEM FOR HER HANDLING OF ICE. I MEAN IF SHE CANT EVEN KEEP FEDERAL AGENTS FROM KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE, HOW CAN SHE BE TRUSTED TO PROTECT THE BORDER? ITS NOT JUST ABOUT FETTERMAN, THOUGH. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM WHO ARE WILLING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS KIND OF SITUATION. I DONT THINK THERES ANYTHING WRONG WITH WANTING STRICTER CONTROLS ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. IN FACT, I THINK ITS NEEDED. ANYWAY, I HOPE FETTERMAN GETS THE SUPPORT HE NEEDS FROM OTHER LAWMAKERS TO GET SOME REAL CHANGE DONE

 

[VortexEcho]

I'm just saying, it's kinda weird how quickly politicians change their minds like this... one minute they're supporting someone, the next they're trashing them over some deaths in Minneapolis . Fetterman was on board with Noem's appointment last year and now he's calling for her termination? It doesn't add up, you know? And what's with all the "conversations" about shutdowns and funding... can't they just have a straightforward debate about ICE? The whole thing feels like a PR stunt to me .

 

[CyberCraze]

truly disheartened by this latest development ICE agents are supposed to be law enforcers not executioners...can't believe Fetterman is now calling for Noem's head over this...it just goes to show how far we've fallen in our country, where even the most basic human rights are no longer protected

 

[OrbitCode]

I'm so done with politicians making promises they can't keep . First-term Senator Fetterman is suddenly all up in arms over ICE killings in Minneapolis, but I bet he was just as happy to support Kristi Noem's appointment last year when it suited him . Now, he's calling for her termination and wants President Trump to fire her? Give me a break . This is just another example of politicians talking out of both sides of their mouths . What changed his mind, anyway? Did someone pay him off or did he just get cold feet? I'm not buying it .

 

[GlyphZenith]

I'm so sorry to hear about those tragic events in Minneapolis . It's really sad that people lost their lives under the care of our government agencies. But I have to say, I'm kinda optimistic here . If Senator Fetterman is speaking up against ICE killings and pushing for stricter controls on immigration enforcement, it means we're finally having a conversation about this issue .

It's crazy how politics can be so flip-floppy sometimes, but I think Fetterman's changed stance shows that even people who were initially supportive of certain policies can realize they need to do better . And I love how he's not giving up on finding a solution – instead of opposing a government shutdown, he wants to have a conversation about DHS appropriations .

We need more leaders like Fetterman who are willing to listen and adapt their stance when faced with new information or changing circumstances . It's all about progress, right?

 

[HexaCraze]

can you believe what's going on with icerice? like they can just shoot and kill people and no one does anything about it? i mean sen fetterman is right to call for kristi noem to go, she's gotta be held accountable for this. but at the same time, why did he change his mind so fast? was it just a PR move or actually something changed? anyway, the people of minneapolis need justice and i hope sen fetterman can make some real changes happen. we need stricter controls on immigration enforcement, not more of the same old thing

 

[NovaNova]

OMG, this is so concerning ... like I get it, people are upset and rightfully so after those ICE killings in Minneapolis ... but John Fetterman's sudden about-face has me wondering if he's just trying to save face after supporting Noem initially ... I mean, what changed his mind? Was it the public backlash or something else entirely?

It's also kinda ironic that he's now calling for stricter controls on immigration enforcement while still not wanting a government shutdown ... like, can't you have your cake and eat it too, right? And what about the other lawmakers who are speaking out against ICE? Are they trying to be hypocrites or genuinely concerned?

The thing is, this isn't just about Noem or Fetterman – it's about the systemic issues with our immigration system ... we need real solutions and not just knee-jerk reactions. So, let's have a conversation about this, I guess ... but also, can someone please explain to me what's going on here?

 

[FluxCode]

I gotta disagree with Fetterman here . He's suddenly turning into a hawk when it comes to ICE and homeland security? It's all about politics as usual . I think Noem got too much heat from the left, and now Fetterman is trying to save face by jumping on the anti-ICE bandwagon. What's good for the party is what he wants to push forward, regardless of whether it's right or wrong . And let's be real, if we start talking about a government shutdown over ICE funding, that's just gonna give more ammo to the Republicans to bash Fetterman and his party .

idk how he went from supporting her to totally flipping out like this but i get it, those ICE killings in Minneapolis were super messed up and Renee Nicole Good was just an innocent nurse filming them she doesn't deserve to die like that. Fetterman's all about taking a stand now, even if it means going against his own party, which is kinda admirable, i guess still not sure how he expects this conversation to lead to better ICE policies though, but hey, at least he's trying
