Sanctuary Cities Face Potential Travel Halt
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced plans to potentially stop processing international travelers at airports in U.S. sanctuary cities. This decision, discussed with White House officials but not yet finalized, could affect airports in major cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
According to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Trump administration is considering halting the processing of international travelers and cargo at major U.S. airports located in 'sanctuary cities.' These cities have refused to cooperate with an ongoing immigration crackdown.
Mullin shared in an interview with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity that he has met with White House officials on this matter but emphasized that no final decision has been reached.
Reports last week indicated that Mullin has informed travel executives about the possibility, naming airports in cities such as Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, Seattle, and San Francisco as potential targets for such measures.
