1) Dem MN Rep Ilhan Omar is now officially on the Foreign Affairs Committee for the 118th Congress. but her time on that panel may be short. The House just agreed, via unanimous consent, to a slate of Democratic members to serve on a host of House committees.
2) Fox is told that roster of names included the appointment of Omar to the Foreign Affairs panel.
No one objected to the unanimous consent request from House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA).
3) A senior House Republican source means this triggers GOP action to remove her from that panel tomorrow.
The full House would need to vote to remove Omar.
4) No one objected to the unanimous consent request made by Aguilar because that would have torpedoed other Democrats from serving on other committees
.@RepJerryNadler claimed the border crisis hearing will expose the "racist tendencies of the extreme MAGA Republican wing of the party" because the GOP wants the border to be secured.
Adds it "almost makes me miss the usual obsession with conspiracy theories and the FBI." pic.twitter.com/sUqWsNL69o— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) February 1, 2023
El Paso County Judge Samaniego (D): "There is no open border in El Paso...There is no invasion of migrants in our community. Nor are there hordes of undocumented immigrants committing crimes against citizens or causing havoc in our community," saying the border is open is racist. pic.twitter.com/msU4LJuxDC— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) February 1, 2023
.@RepAdamSchiff: Many Republicans seem intent on demonizing migrant families and asylum seekers, portraying them as fentanyl traffickers and violent criminals...These terrible stereotypes...increase the level of hate and violence directed at immigrants here at home. pic.twitter.com/wKbEt8RU8v— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) February 1, 2023
.@RepTedLieu: This hearing is titled "Biden's Border Crisis." That is completely wrong. It is not Biden's border crisis. This has been a crisis for over half a century. pic.twitter.com/CrTw2zO7nq— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) February 1, 2023
