Newsom Tells ICE Barbie to Resign ‘Before More Americans Are Killed’

The governor called for Noem’s resignation following two shootings.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign following two DHS-involved shootings this week.

“Kristi Noem should resign — before more Americans are killed. She needs to be held to account,” Newsom’s press office said in a post on X.

An agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who has been identified as Jonathan Ross, shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

In Portland Thursday, Customs and Border Patrol agents shot two people during a traffic stop. Both victims were hospitalized.

On the shooting in Portland, Newsom said in another post, “Yet another attack and shooting by President Trump’s private police force on American soil. Disgusting.”

The Daily Beast reached out to DHS for comment.

The fatal shooting of Good, a widowed mother of three children, in Minnesota sparked a widespread backlash against ICE. The Trump administration insists Good was attempting to ram her car into the agent and was committing an “act of domestic terrorism.”

Good had dropped her 6-year-old son off at school just before coming into contact with several ICE agents. Video footage shows that as she attempted to drive away from the area where ICE was operating, an agent fired shots into her car window, killing her.

In other footage from the scene, one ICE agent can be heard calling her a “f---ing b---h” in the moments right after she was shot.

Newsom’s call comes as a growing number of House Democrats are warming up to the idea of impeaching Noem.

Illinois Democrat Robin Kelly filed articles of impeachment against Noem, accusing her of obstructing Congress, abusing her office for her own personal benefit, and violating her oath of office. Several House Democrats said they could co-sponsor Kelly’s push.

Kelly said Noem is violating the U.S. Constitution all while “ruining and ending lives.”

“We need to use every tool in the toolbox. We need to give the public hope that an incompetent leader just can’t come into communities and actually terrorize communities, traumatize communities,” she said.

Fellow Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez had also pushed for impeachment hearings into Noem weeks before the shootings.

While there has been a small amount of criticism from Republicans of the Trump administration’s handling of the ICE shooting, the party has largely fallen in line with the administration’s account of what happened in Minnesota.

Several Republicans have taken the matter even further, suggesting that more Americans will die at the hands of ICE if they do not comply. Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt went as far as to say that federal agents can shoot you if their commands are not obeyed.

“The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them, and then you get to keep your life,” Hunt said.
