U.S. Rep. Emily Randall, a Washington Democrat, says she's co-sponsoring a measure to impeach and remove Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from office.

In a statement, Randall said she was "horrified" to see the video of an ICE agent fatally shoot Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday — then, a day later, to hear that two people were injured in a U.S. Border Patrol shooting in Portland.

"Kristi Noem's lawless agents are out of control," Randall wrote. "We cannot have rogue government agencies killing its own people in our communities."

"Enough is enough," she added.

Noem and other federal officials have said the agents in both the Minneapolis and Portland cases acted in self-defense, in line with their training.

Randall, who represents Washington's 6th district, joins the impeachment effort Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly launched in the wake of the deadly ICE shooting in Minnesota.

Kelly on Thursday announced she planned to file three articles of impeachment against Noem: One claiming Noem violated her constitutional oath and federal law by willfully obstructing Congressional oversight and withholding Congressionally appropriated funds, another alleging she "compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions," and a third accusing Noem of abusing her office for personal gain.
