Could international travel to US sanctuary cities be halted soon?

Question

## The Trump administration is considering plans that could halt customs and immigration processing at some sanctuary-city airports, but no decision has been made yet

Accepted Answer

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the Trump administration is drawing up plans to stop processing international travellers and cargo at major US airports in “sanctuary cities” that do not cooperate with an immigration crackdown. Mullin told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that no decision has been made on whether to proceed, even as he said the administration is currently drawing up plans and that “we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities.” The idea is under active consideration, and it could disrupt international air travel and commerce at major airports in Democratic states, including as millions of foreign tourists are expected for the start of the Fifa World Cup next month.
