Rep. Mark Green to Resign from Congress Following Vote on Immigration Bill
Homeland Security Committee Chair cites private sector opportunity as reason for departure
Representative Mark Green of Tennessee has announced his intention to resign from Congress after the upcoming vote on President Trump's 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act,' a comprehensive immigration and border security package.
Green, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, stated that he is pursuing a private sector opportunity.
His departure will narrow the Republican majority in the House and necessitate a special election in Tennessee's 7th District.
Green has been a prominent advocate for stringent immigration policies and played a key role in the impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
