The move comes after Common Cause led a\u00a0national, people-powered\u00a0campaign to oust Noem<\/a>\u00a0following a\u00a0tenure marked by lawless actions, corruption, and fatal\u00a0law\u00a0enforcement abuses.\u00a0The campaign brought an end to Noem\u2019s tenure in just\u00a0over a month.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\u201cKristi Noem\u2019s\u00a0removal\u00a0is a\u00a0hard-won victory for Americans who refused to stay silent while the government was weaponized against the very people it\u2019s sworn to protect,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>said Virginia Kase\u00a0Solom\u00f3n, President and CEO of Common Cause<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cUnder Noem\u2019s watch, DHS\u00a0was defined by corruption, terror, and the tragic,\u00a0preventable deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.\u00a0This is a powerful reminder that in a true democracy, no official is above the law.\u201d\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhile firing Noem is a critical milestone, Common Cause warns that\u00a0leadership change is only the first step.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\u201cWe cannot, and will not,\u00a0return to business as usual,\u201d\u00a0added\u00a0Solom\u00f3n<\/strong>. \u201cDHS\u00a0is still\u00a0in crisis. Until there is a qualified, proven leader at the helm who is committed to putting the safety of all Americans first, Congress\u00a0shouldn\u2019t\u00a0give another penny to DHS.\u201d\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nThrough the \u201cFire Kristi Noem\u201d campaign,\u00a0Common Cause galvanized hundreds of thousands of Americans\u00a0desperate for accountability\u00a0into action.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
