Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

House Democratic leaders called on President Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem -- warning that they will "commence impeachment proceedings" against her if he doesn't.

"The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith," the leaders said in a statement posted by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to X on Tuesday. "Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

The statement comes as Trump expressed a vote of confidence in Noem, telling reporters Tuesday afternoon, "I think she's doing a very good job."

President Donald Trump spoke with reporters before departing for a political rally in Iowa and was asked if DHS Secretary Kristi Noem would step down.

"No," he responded.

The president was also asked if Alex Pretti's death was justified.

"Well, you know we're doing a big investigation," he responded. "I'm going to be watching over it. I want a very honorable and honest investigation. I want to see it myself."

Asked by ABC News chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce what his message is to Pretti's family, Trump responded, "Well, I'm looking at that whole situation. I love everybody, I love all of our people. I love his family. And it's a very sad situation."

ABC News observed officers from Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on ladders assessing the crime scene and looking at markings on a wall above what appear to be bullet holes.

One agent also appeared to be taking photos of a CCTV camera directly above the scene of the shooting.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz met with White House border czar Tom Homan Tuesday morning, according to the governor's office.

Walz "reiterated Minnesota's priorities: impartial investigations into the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, a swift, significant reduction in the number of federal forces in Minnesota, and an end to the campaign of retribution against Minnesota," the governor's office said in a statement.

"The Governor and Homan agreed on the need for an ongoing dialogue and will continue working toward those goals, which the President also agreed to yesterday," the statement added.

Homan will work with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety as his primary liaison, according to Walz's office.
