Rep. Bennie Thompson, the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, has publicly called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. Thompson accused Noem of misusing department resources to advance what he described as President Donald Trump’s “extreme” immigration agenda. According to Thompson, these actions represent a serious deviation from the department’s mission to protect the nation and uphold lawful, effective border management.

In addition to the allegations of resource diversion, Thompson criticized Noem for failing to respond to basic congressional oversight inquiries. He emphasized that her lack of transparency undermines accountability and raises concerns about decision-making at the highest levels of the department. Thompson argued that her resignation would not only address these issues but also serve the broader interests of national security and public trust.

“This would be a real service to the country,” Thompson stated, framing the call as a necessary step to restore integrity and confidence within Homeland Security. Lawmakers and the public are watching closely as discussions around departmental oversight and the direction of immigration policy continue to unfold, highlighting ongoing tensions between Congress and executive officials.
