House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on firing of DHS Secy. Kristi Noem: "Good riddance." - C-SPAN
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries welcomed the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday but said Democrats still want policy changes to immigration enforcement operations before agreeing to reopen the Homeland Security Department, which has been without funding since Feb. 13.
"Good riddance. She was a disaster, and House Democrats made something very clear several weeks ago. We said either Kristi Noem is fired or she's going to be impeached. And Kristi Noem has been fired, consistent with what we have demanded on behalf of the American people," he said at a press conference. - Aired on 03/06/2026.
