Several weeks ago, I covered how the Trump administration was threatening to pull customs from airports in some cities, thereby restricting international flights to those places. The suggestion was so outlandish that it was hard to take seriously. However, it sounds like this wasn’t a joke, and this is something the administration still working toward. We’re now learning more about what these plans could look like…
“Seriously, if they’re sanctuary cities, and they’re receiving international flights, and we’re asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport, they’re not going to enforce immigration policy? Maybe we need to have a really hard look at that, because we need to focus on cities that want to work with us.”
There’s no official definition of what constitutes a “sanctuary city,” and for those not familiar, the term refers to places where local authorities limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The Trump administration does publish a list of places that it considers to be sanctuary cities.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
