Markwayne Mullin’s Sanctuary City Airport Remark Raises Concerns
- On Tuesday, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin floated removing Customs and Border Protection agents from international airports in sanctuary cities as retaliation for jurisdictions refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
- Mullin told Fox News he believes sanctuary city policies are 'not lawful,' framing potential airport staffing cuts as a response to local lawmakers obstructing federal immigration cooperation.
- Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman warned this could create 'a massive problem' for major hubs like LAX, SFO, ORD, EWR, and JFK, though critics argue the administration lacks statutory authority to withhold these resources.
- Thomas Kennedy, a policy analyst at the Florida Immigrant Coalition, posted on X that officials are 'willing to nuke the economy of large metropolitan centers for a political agenda repulsive to 70+ percent of the population.'
- During his confirmation hearing, Mullin stated one goal is for DHS to avoid daily headlines, urging leaders to 'put the partisan bickering aside' and focus on what is 'best for moving forward.
