Is Ilan omar removed from all committees
Executive summary
Ilhan Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in February 2023, but she has not been stripped of every committee assignment; as of the most recent public records she continues to serve on other panels such as Education and the Workforce [1] [2] [3] [4]. Subsequent Republican efforts to strip her of additional assignments have produced resolutions and headlines but have not resulted in a blanket removal from all committees [5] [6] [7].
1. The one committee ouster that did happen—and why it matters
House Republicans voted in February 2023 to remove Representative Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee by a recorded vote (218–211), a punitive action framed publicly around past statements that many lawmakers characterized as antisemitic [1] [2] [8]. The removal was formalized in House Resolution 76 during the 118th Congress, which explicitly targets Omar’s seat on Foreign Affairs [3]. That single, high-profile ouster is the anchor for many later social-media claims that compress or exaggerate the scope of sanctions against her [9].
2. What Omar still holds: other committee roles and official listings
Omar’s official congressional office continued to list active committee assignments after the Foreign Affairs removal; her public biography and committee page show service on the House Education and the Workforce Committee and indicate subcommittee roles, meaning she remained a committee member beyond the 2023 Foreign Affairs action [4]. That fact is foundational: losing one committee post does not automatically strip a member of all committees, and her office’s roster is the primary source for which panels she serves on [4].
3. Republican pushback, new resolutions and political theater
Republican members—including Rep. Nancy Mace—have filed and promoted resolutions aiming to censure Omar and remove her from additional committees, producing text in the 119th Congress that would remove her from Education and the Budget Committees if enacted (H.Res.713) and public filings announcing intent to pursue such removals [5] [6]. These efforts reflect partisan strategy and public pressure as much as procedural necessity: resolutions to strip assignments are tools available to the majority, and sponsors have argued their moves respond to recent comments or posts by Omar [5] [6].
4. Outcomes so far: tabling, headlines and an unresolved picture
Not every removal push has succeeded; a September 2025 attempt by Rep. Mace to censure Omar and remove her committee assignments was voted to be tabled by the House, illustrating that proposed resolutions do not automatically translate into loss of all committee membership [7]. Independent fact-checking outlets have also debunked recycled claims that Omar was “just” or newly removed from committees in later years, noting the 2023 Foreign Affairs vote is often misrepresented in 2024–2025 social posts [9]. Public reporting in 2026 focuses on related scrutiny—such as Oversight Committee requests concerning companies tied to Omar’s husband—but those inquiries are distinct from committee-assignments decisions [10] [11] [12].
5. Competing narratives and the political subtext
Supporters frame the 2023 removal as partisan retaliation and point to Omar’s continuing diplomatic engagements and advocacy outside the committee system as proof she remains influential [13] [14], while critics and some Republican leaders present additional removal resolutions as accountability for recent conduct or statements [5] [6]. Media coverage therefore mixes procedural developments (H.Res.76 and H.Res.713), partisan messaging, and fact-checking that warns against conflating isolated committee ousters with an across-the-board stripping of assignments [3] [9].
Conclusion: direct answer
No—Ilhan Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023, but she has not been removed from all committees; she continued to serve on other committees such as Education and the Workforce according to her official committee listings, and subsequent Republican attempts to remove her from additional panels have produced resolutions and votes to table measures rather than an across-the-board purge [1] [3] [4] [5] [7]. Reporting and fact-checking show repeated misstatements online that recycle the 2023 action as if it were a current, total removal [9].
