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 places him at the forefront of congressional oversight on key issues such as border security, immigration policy, and cybersecurity, especially as Republicans align with the Trump administration's agenda. The selection followed a competitive race among several GOP lawmakers, with Garbarino ultimately winning the support of the House Republican Steering Committee. His leadership is expected to influence the direction of U.S. homeland security policy, particularly regarding the renewal of critical cybersecurity laws and the GOP's approach to border enforcement.
The move is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and positions Garbarino as a key player in shaping national security debates.
