The Trump administration is reportedly considering reducing Customs and Border Protection staffing at airports serving so-called sanctuary jurisdictions, a move that could cripple international flights at some of the busiest airports in the United States.
According to The Atlantic, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin recently met with airline and travel industry executives and told them that the administration may reduce CBP staffing at major airports serving sanctuary jurisdictions. Potential airports reportedly discussed included Portland International Airport, New York-area airports like JFK and Newark, and Washington Dulles.
This follows earlier remarks Mullin made on Fox News, highlighted by One Mile at a Time, in which he suggested that sanctuary cities with international airports may not deserve to process customs arrivals.
