DHS warns sanctuary city airports

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has escalated the administration's feud with 'sanctuary cities' by threatening to halt international processing at major airports.

The proposal would stop the clearance of travelers and cargo at facilities in jurisdictions that refuse to coordinate with federal immigration enforcement.

This move has sparked immediate backlash from the airline industry and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who warned of catastrophic economic consequences.

The threat is the latest step in President Trump's broader campaign to pressure local governments into complying with his second-term deportation agenda.
