  1. Her immigration case should be examined very carefully. If any fraud was committed all immigration benefits, including citizenship can be revoked.

  2. No. He can't. McCarthy, as Speaker, can submit his recommendations to the rules committee to remove her (or any other member) from any committee and the rules committee decides (by majority vote) whether to advance that recommendation to a floor vote. The rules committee has already done this for Omar. It now requires a majority vote of the full House to actually remove someone, unless their leader, Joachim Jefferies in this case, withdraws their name from consideration and nominates someone else to that committee. He won't do that. If the majority of the House members vote to remove her...she's removed. Not from Congress, just from that committee. Since Republicans have a majority in the House and since they will USUALLY follow the recommendation of the Republican Speaker and Republican controlled rules committee, she will most likely be removed from the Foreign Relations Committee. The Republican majority is slim and at least one, Matt Gaetz, has said he may not vote to remove her. He sees her removal as being based on her policy preferences, not on any risk to national security like Schiff and Swalwell. Gaetz argues that members should not be removed just because you don't like their policy positions. Whether you agree or disagree with Gaetz, the Republicans can only stand to lose 5 votes in any floor vote or it will not pass.
