The exchange of words began when Trump spoke about immigration. He urged members of Congress to stand up if they supported the view that the government's primary mission is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.
When Democrats refused to stand up, Trump said they should be ashamed.
"You should be ashamed!" replied Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat of Somali origin.
"You have killed Americans!" she shouted before leaving the chamber.
"Liars!" shouted Democrat Rashida Tlaib.
Just minutes into Trump's speech, Democrat Al Green was also escorted out of the chamber after he held up a sign reading "Black people are not monkeys."
A clip was recently posted on Trump's Truth Social account depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as monkeys in the jungle. The White House blamed the video on an aide, and it was later deleted. Trump has consistently refused to apologize for the White House sharing the image.
Democrat Norma Torres held up a sign with pictures of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, who were shot dead by immigration police in Minneapolis in January.
Around thirty Democrats boycotted the speech.
