"Democratic senator John Fetterman has called on Donald Trump to immediately fire Kristi Noem after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, said in a statement: President Trump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire Secretary Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS's core mission and trashing your border security legacy. DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary."
"Unlike others in his party, Fetterman has broadly defended some aspects of Trump's border policy and was one of seven Democrats who voted to confirm Noem as DHS secretary last year. He has also said he would not risk a partial government shutdown at the end of this week by voting to block DHS funding. But he has joined other Democrats in criticizing federal actions in Minneapolis."
Senator John Fetterman demanded President Trump fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, saying Americans have died and Noem is betraying DHS's core mission. Fetterman defended parts of Trump's border policy, voted to confirm Noem, and opposed blocking DHS funding to avoid a partial shutdown. He called for Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis to stand down, calling it ungovernable and dangerous. Other Democrats sought Noem's impeachment or resignation after she labeled Pretti a domestic terrorist without evidence. The White House said Trump still has confidence in Noem while press secretary Karoline Leavitt distanced the president and urged the investigation to play out.
