Republicans have ousted Democrat Ilhan Omar from her committee post in a sign of escalating tensions in the US Congress.
They voted to remove Ms Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her past comments about Israel.
Republicans said the move sent a strong statement against anti-semitism.
But Democrats and Ms Omar said it was revenge after two Republicans were ousted from committees in 2020 when Democrats held a House majority.
Ms Omar also suggested she was being removed due to her being a Muslim woman who immigrated to the US as a refugee.
Republicans secured a majority in the House of Representatives following the midterm elections in November and members voted along party lines earlier today to remove Ms Omar.
