New York governor leads calls for Kristi Noem to resign as Homeland Security Secretary: ‘She has forfeited her right to lead’
Governor calls for Noem to resign saying she ‘forfeited her right to lead’
- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has called for the resignation or dismissal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and commander Gregory Bovino after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
- The administration claimed Pretti was armed and posed a threat, but bystander video footage reportedly contradicts this, showing him holding only a phone.
- Governor Hochul emphasized that "no one is above the law."
- This incident is the second time a US citizen has died at the hands of immigration officials in Minneapolis this month, following the earlier killing of Renee Good.
- Secretary Noem is also facing criticism from conservative commentators, who allege she is deliberately seeking public confrontations and marginalising other officials.
