Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez met with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Washington DC. According to Ramirez's office press release, the meeting focused on demands for Noem to resign or face removal, along with specific policy changes. Ramirez pressed for re-establishing protected areas, codifying minimum use of force standards, prohibiting warrantless arrests to respect the Fourth Amendment, abiding by court orders, adhering to congressional appropriations, and meeting national detention standards for personal belongings, food, nutrition, and medical care.

Ramirez stated that Noem and the department have escalated lawlessness despite months of requests, and she remains committed to abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and dismantling the Department of Homeland Security. The exchange stems from a December congressional hearing where Noem agreed on record to the meeting.

Meanwhile, amid an ongoing partial government shutdown over Department of Homeland Security funding, Secretary Noem revived a threat to suspend TSA PreCheck. The Columbian reports that Noem indicated the federal government may halt the expedited airport screening program. KFBK notes this comes as TSA agents work without pay during the funding fight.

These developments highlight tensions between Congress, the executive branch, and homeland security operations under Noem's leadership.
