Homeland Security Secretary Mullin Faces Backlash Over Airport Plan
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing significant opposition over his proposal to remove Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in sanctuary cities, effectively barring these airports from accepting international flights. Mullin, who succeeded Kristi Noem, has argued that cities not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement should not process international flights. This plan has been criticized by a coalition of travel and business groups, including the U.S. Travel Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who warn that such actions could disrupt the nation's air transportation system. The plan targets major international travel hubs like New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, which handle millions of passengers and generate significant economic activity.
