Rep. Andrew Garbarino, a Republican from New York, has been selected as the new chair of the powerful House Homeland Security Committee, succeeding Rep.
Mark Green after his sudden resignation. Garbarino's appointment followed a competitive race among several GOP lawmakers, with his selection seen as a win for centrist Republicans. As chair, Garbarino will oversee critical issues such as border security, immigration policy, and cybersecurity, placing him at the center of debates likely to intensify ahead of the 2024 elections. His leadership is expected to influence the direction of the GOP's homeland security and immigration agenda, especially if former President Trump returns to office.
The decision has drawn praise from House Speaker Johnson and signals a potential shift in committee priorities.
