12:30 p.m. – House Democrats call for accountability after killing of Renee Good
Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Democratic members of the House Homeland Security Committee are calling for "accountability and justice" in the killing of Renee Good.
"Americans agree that the ICE officer responsible for her death must face justice – but they also expect accountability from the top," said Rep. Thompson in a statement. "Those who empowered ICE to terrorize our cities – including Kristi Noem – must be held accountable and face consequences."
This comes as Illinois congresswoman Robin Kelly said she filed articles of impeachment against DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, with the support of nearly 70 members of Congress.
"Renee Nicole Good is dead because Sec. Noem allowed her DHS agents to run amok," Kelly said on Wednesday. "Families are forever torn about."

ICE in Minnesota: The latest as ICE's operations continue in Minneapolis
A hearing will be held this morning in the lawsuit filed by the state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities, which is trying to put an end to ICE operations in the state.
A hearing will be held this morning in the lawsuit filed by the State of Minnesota and the Twin Cities, which is trying to put an end to ICE operations in the state.
A federal judge will hold a status conference to lay out the facts and timelines for the case moving forward. The hearing begins at 8:30 a.m. Then at noon, local leaders will highlight what they call "escalating lawless and reckless" activity by ICE and announce routine community briefings to share updates on ICE operations. This all comes as tensions between protesters and ICE agents continue to flare up.
The lawsuit calls for dramatic changes to how ICE agents conduct immigration enforcement. The state of Minnesota, as well as Minneapolis and St. Paul are asking the court to declare what ICE is doing in the state "unconstitutional and unlawful."
Since DHS launched "Operation Metro Surge" at the beginning of December, the number of federal agents in the Twin Cities has exploded to more than 3,000. But state and city leaders are growing increasingly concerned about the escalation of aggressive tactics by ICE agents. The lawsuit claims ongoing immigration enforcement is having a negative impact on everyday Minnesotans, leading schools and businesses to close. Meanwhile, people's social media feeds are filled with videos of masked agents conducting militarized raids and massive protests, as well as videos documenting the violent arrests of people.
The lawsuit calls for federal agents to stop using what city and state leaders are calling excessive force, which includes making threats of violence, pointing guns at individuals, body slamming and chokeholds to restrain people.
The lawsuit also wants ICE agents to stop wearing masks during raids and be required to wear body cameras.
