of an effort to bring home fallen soldiers.

>> First off tonight, Christie Noem is out.

President Donald Trump today announced on truth Social.

He's replacing the embattled homeland Security secretary with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin at the end of the month, the president says no will instead serve as a special envoy for the so-called Shield of the Americas.

A new western Hemisphere Security initiative.

The announcement comes after 2 days of heated congressional oversight hearings in which known faced sharp questions from Democrats and Republicans alike about her conduct.

A secretary.

>> What we've seen is a disaster under your leadership must a disaster.

What we've saying as innocent people getting detained that turnout or American citizens.

I could talk about the culture that's been created here.

I don't know that.

We'll have you to respond because I've given you a performance evaluation here.

I'm not looking for a response.

>> Joining us now is Congresswoman D'elia Ramirez, a Democrat representing parts of Chicago's West side.

We also invited Republican Congress members, Mike Bost and Darin LaHood of Illinois.

But they either declined or did not respond.

But Representative Ramirez, thank you very much for joining us.

I'd like to begin by just asking your reaction to Trump moving on from as DHS secretary.

>> my first reaction when I got off a reporter after caucus less about time, we have been calling for her to step down or to get fired in my case since April of last year by April last year has seen enough.

And I know that she knew that too, either quit or get fired by president or begin the process in Congress to impeach or some that she's stepping down.

I don't think she should ever serve in public office again.

And so we sent you have to make sure that we continue the articles of impeachment.

That would actually, in fact, make it impossible for her to ever serve whether made up positions.

Special envoy, Western Hemisphere, should the Americas, whatever the heck that he tries to send her to face should never be in public office.

But today was a went.

If you wish to Kabul who have been demanding she step down that been watching.

What she's done is recorded what done.

But we're not done yet.

>> Well, and, you know, you mentioned this special envoy role for Shield of the Americas.

Do you have any sense of what exactly that entails?

Is this a reassignment or was was she fired?

>> Well, look, he's gonna call the present, going to call it a reassignment to save face.

But I didn't think the president knows what this position as if you saw when you look that has to be said that on Saturday he'll get more information on That's because the making of some fake position for And unfortunately they're going to continue to use public tax dollars to fund her.

She couldn't protect the home that here in interior.

Do we think that she's going to be able to do it for the entire Western Hemisphere on behalf of the country.

Absolutely not.

>> You mentioned the impact of DHS and its crackdown here in Chicago during her testimony Tuesday know was asked about Mr.

Martinez, who, of course, is the Chicago woman, federal immigration agents shot in October.

Let's watch a bit of that testimony.

>> I don't know why you can join me in saying it was wrong to shoot Miramar almost caused her death.

And then brag about wouldn't you agree to it with me that it was wrong?

>> the way that you up or traded to, it appears to be.

But I let me look into the case.

I could speak to the specifics of it.

>> Congressman, what was your reaction to Noem's response essentially saying she wasn't aware of this incident >> she does this all the time.

I met with her one on one.

I was the only Democrat that got a private meeting with her.

He led the mandate for this meeting December where she can be for Homeland security.

Everything I've in our private meeting at headquarters.

That was a Congresswoman, let me look into it.

Congresswoman, let me look at to see Congresswoman.

I was not aware that you constituents of medical emergencies within city.

62 days on an inquiry to get the medicine she vicious, the lies under oath and Islam telling people and you're going to hear constituents all over the country.

Yes, we're happy that she got fired.

That's not enough.

She needs to be impeached and we actually to prosecute her because the lives that were lost under administration are not coming back.

And the children traumatized whether receive in mount constituents are not going to the UN traumatized because she was remote people in justice and have to be more than just the removal and certainly could have some slush position that she could go to with her special adviser.

Corey, as we know, has also been let go from the adjust.

>> You know, was also questioned Tuesday by Republican Senator John Kennedy about that 200 million Dollar ad campaign in which features heavily heavily.

You know, she said Trump approved the at T told Reuters he didn't know anything about it.

Do you think this campaign was perhaps finally the straw that broke the camel's back here?

>> Now, you know what I actually think for some of President Trump knows Christine, I was still weighing how off that shows on TV.

He follows a monitor closely.

All the things that she was doing, the private jet, all of the corruption, the contracts of this campaign donors.

Look, his friends are benefiting have been profiting from all the part of the tension where people are dying, rotting in prison.

He is what I think happened.

Yes, it's become more public.

More and more people have been going out to protest against what happened in Minneapolis in Chicago over the country and then Texas happen the elections of Tuesday just happened with the 5 districts that they redistricted in order to be able to cheat.

And when in Texas all have more Democrats voting than Republicans chief and they realize that ice is underwater.

Christine AMAs underwater and he's under water.

And so what is the president feels like he could be losing in November?

Do he throws the easiest one to the bus which I don't think it's under the bus.

She needed to be removed anyway.

But I think he thinks that by removing Christine numbers and the Latino community are going to change.

Not with the fire who he likes to brag about and a fighter as competency to be the next secretary.

I think the president knows that he's under water.

Ice is under water and the goal.

going to cost some elections as a result of it.

And of course, the DHS has been, you know, without federal funding amid a dispute over immigration enforcement.

>> course, that affects things like TSA and FEMA.

Do you think having Senator Mullen take over as secretary you know, breaking that stalemate any more likely?

>> Look, I think that we should not be funding DHS until we actually have the policy commitments that Christine on the Donald Trump have been unwilling to give us the White House, keep sending these empty poinsettia.

our negotiations, we're going to follow the law.

You follow the law.

So how is this any different from what you're effectively?

They haven't actually taken on any of the 10 points that Democrats have sent.

So here's the thing he's going to have to come before the Senate and he will need 60 people, including 7 Democrats to vote for confirmation.

actually the time and opportunism across have to hold the most leverage right now in a shutdown to actually get the policy changes that we need to see a transformative policy or people don't feel charity.

Mart and Democrats.

I hope my colleagues in the Senate will hold the line because is actually opportunity to do so until we find dismantle the it just.

>> Before we let you go, I also want to ask, you know, the house just hours ago narrowly rejected a war powers resolution that would have curbed the president's actions in Iran.

Are you concerned about an expanding war?

>> Absolutely.

You're seen every single day more and more casualties.

This Congress decided that it doesn't want to assert its power.

I'll tell you, Republicans and Democrats voted against the war powers resolution, frankly, should resign.

They've decided that they no longer need to be the ones that give the authorization for us to go into war.

They have ceded all their power to Donald Trump.

Put service members at risk of dying 6 about already died and made all of us less safe.

It is thus to couple to see what the margins that we lost.

This this resolution have people who chose Bibi Netanyahu over this country.

That's exactly what just happened an hour and a half ago.

>> And we've got just about 20 seconds left, but many Americans currently stranded abroad in the Middle East.

How would you rate the administration's efforts to bring them safely home?

>> Negative off.

That's a great.

They had no plan.

They didn't even think about the Americans that were all over the Middle East.

So many of them right now in tears thinking that today could be that they get Bob and I overseas discussing.
