DHS Secretary Mullin announces plans to halt international flight processing at sanctuary city airports.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated the Trump administration is drawing up plans to stop customs and immigration processing at airports in sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. The proposal has drawn criticism from the travel industry, major airlines, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who said it would be a bad idea. No final decision has been made on whether to proceed.
