Mace Moves To Censure Omar, Presses Floor Action as Deportation Rhetoric Escalates

A privileged censure push has morphed into a deportation-focused feud lacking clear, unified Republican backing.

Overview

  • Rep. Nancy Mace filed a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar and remove her from the Education and Workforce and Budget committees over her remarks following Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
  • Mace said she invoked a privileged motion to force consideration, with outlets reporting the measure slated for House floor debate as early as Wednesday evening.
  • Mace repeatedly urged that Omar be deported and lose her citizenship and revived a long‑debunked rumor about her personal life, drawing criticism and unease from some Republicans.
  • Omar said she condemned Kirk’s killing, argued the resolution cites no direct quotes from her, and cast Mace’s effort as a political stunt tied to fundraising and state ambitions.
  • Authorities have charged 22‑year‑old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder in Kirk’s shooting, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.
