Trump and ICE must be held accountable, and the American people are demanding nothing less.
There is still far more to be done to rein in the Department of Homeland Security and the dangerous policies advanced by President Trump. Congress must take decisive action to reform ICE, and that requires meaningful legislation—not simply replacing the DHS Secretary.
After the horrific deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good under her watch, the unjust jailing of countless American citizens, and the inhumane conditions inside detention facilities, it is long past time for Noem to be removed from her post.
The American people have spoken out with outrage over her reckless and abusive handling of federal immigration enforcement.
Kristi Noem has unleashed months of chaos across the United States, deploying rogue ICE agents to terrorize our communities, withholding emergency funds for communities, and using her position for personal gain.
The American people deserve to know the plan & justification before rushing into war. That’s why the Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war – not a singular person.
@adamsmith.house.gov & I discussed the importance of voting for today’s War Powers Resolution.
Donald Trump said if you put me in office, I'm going to make sure we don't go to war with Iran.
He failed.
My statement on the War Powers Resolution vote.
House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov asked Undersecretary of Defense Colby to explain the NDS and Trump Admin's values and how those square with Trump's campaign promises to end forever wars and the war Trump has launched in the Middle East.

Trump is basically a bull who just walked into the world's largest, most densely populated China shop. Everywhere he turns, something breaks.
Last night, I joined Anderson Cooper on @cnn.com to discuss Iran.
We should vote on a War Powers Resolution.
"We have U.S. civilians trapped in the Middle East being told to leave... . Hezbollah and Israel are now back in a full-scale conflict. It's spiraling out of control with no clear plan how to have an off-ramp."

U.S. troops and Iranian civilians are dead because of Trump’s strikes in Iran.
His response?
“There will likely be more.”
@kim.senate.gov and @adamsmith.house.gov go deeper.
When Trump was running for president, he said we would not go to war with Iran. What changed? The American people deserve an explanation.
I spoke to @newsnation.bsky.social last night about the military's involvement in Iran.
Not only is Trump not dealing with the affordability crisis, but what he's doing in Iran is going to drive prices up even further and hurt Americans.
I joined @ms.now last night to discuss the actions in Iran.
There's a lot more that the Republican-led Congress could do to have some accountability for the use of our military in this war.
I spoke with Live Now Fox on Sunday to discuss military actions in Iran.
House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov joined his colleagues on the Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Appropriations Committees in demanding direct answers from top Trump Admin officials set to brief Congress later today on U.S. military operations against Iran.
Sharing new interview with @adamsmith.house.gov, Ranking Member of House Armed Services, fresh from this pm's classified Congressional briefing w/Hegseth, Rubio, & Caine.
Hear what Rep. Smith has to say about Trump's dangerous new war in the Middle East 👇

This is a war.
This is a direct attack on a foreign nation.
This should legally require congressional approval.
This morning, I joined CNN to discuss the war in Iran.
Mr. President, what is the benefit that you think we're going to be able to achieve?
On Sunday night, I spoke with Erin Burnett about military actions in Iran.
4 Americans. 11 Israelis. 555 Iranians.
Dead after Trump’s strike on Iran.
Rep. @adamsmith.house.gov questions the unnecessary sacrifice.

The American people need more clarity from President Trump about the military operations in Iran.
I joined Fox News on Saturday morning to discuss Iran.
President Trump is exercising a level of executive authority we haven't seen before.
I spoke with @ms.now on Saturday night to discuss the military actions in Iran.
I hope the Iranian people create a better government, but remain hesitant if that will actually happen.
I joined NewsNation on Saturday night to discuss the conflict in Iran.
This is the most cavalier manner any president has ever gone to war with ... . Saying, 'Man, some people are going to get killed.' ... You have to take much more responsibility for placing the lives of the men and women who serve our country on the line than that."
- RM @AdamSmith on @MSNOW Sunday
"Trump's war against Iran drags on with no end in sight, and increasingly with no clear objective. ... We have no explanation, while the president callously and cavalierly says, 'Well, there'll be more casualties.'"
- @democrats-armedservices.house.gov Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov
Never before in the history of our country has a president started a war of this size without making any effort to convince Congress or the American people.
I joined KOMO to discuss Iran.
