Democrats said Good's death was the final straw but claimed Noem's abuses went well beyond last week's incident.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), an ICE agent fired at Good when she had first attempted to disrupt an arrest, refused orders to exit her car and began driving away, placing an ICE agent in the path of her moving vehicle.
Democrats like Kelly allege Good’s death is emblematic of a lack of oversight and restraint at DHS under Noem’s leadership. They also believe Noem prematurely called Good a "domestic terrorist" after the shooting, putting the blame for the confrontation on her and failing to hold her agency accountable for potential misuses of force.
Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y., who also joined Kelly at Wednesday’s press event, slammed Noem for the way she characterized the incident.
"She went on national television and smeared a dead American as a domestic terrorist," Velázquez said. "The articles we are filing today lay it all out."
Republicans reacting to the shooting last week rallied around Noem, defending the ICE agents' actions and calling for an investigation into the incident.

Even with the full support of the Democrat caucus, Kelly’s effort is unlikely to succeed in the House amid a Republican majority in the chamber. Democrats would need at least three members to cross the aisle to secure an impeachment and send the effort to the Senate for a conviction.
