U.S. Travel Industry Warns of $8 Billion Loss Due to Potential Newark Airport Shutdown
The U.S. Travel Association has raised concerns about a potential shutdown of immigration processing at Newark airport, which could result in significant economic harm. The Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Markwayne Mullin, is considering halting the processing of international travelers and cargo at major airports in sanctuary cities, including Newark, due to a lack of cooperation from local law enforcement with federal immigration officials. This move could disrupt international travel and commerce, especially with the FIFA World Cup approaching, and affect millions of travelers and billions in imported cargo.
