Airlines and Hotels Warn Against Trump Administration's Threat to International Flights
The Trump administration is considering halting customs and immigration processing at airports in 'sanctuary cities,' a move that has drawn criticism from major airlines and hotel chains. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested that if cities do not comply with federal immigration laws, international flights should not be processed there. This proposal comes ahead of the FIFA World Cup, which is expected to bring millions of visitors to the U.S. The travel industry warns that reducing Customs and Border Protection staffing at major airports would severely disrupt operations, affecting airlines, travelers, and international cargo flow. The administration's stance is seen as an attempt to pressure cities with lenient immigration policies.
