CBP agents are responsible for conducting security inspections of international travelers, so a full withdrawal would disrupt processing international flights at airports.<\/p>\n<p>Mullin said that because sanctuary cities prevent local law enforcement from working with federal immigration agents and generally allow unruly protests against agents, DHS &#8220;must decide where we will prioritize our federal employees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to prioritize federal police officers, and that could impact international flights coming in and out of their airports. Because I have to take Customs and Border Protection officers out of being able to process international flights and have them help our ICE agents,&#8221; Mullin told Fox News in a clip posted Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If things don&#8217;t change, we will have to take this step very quickly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because I&#8217;m not going to put my employees and my ICE agents at risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mullin&#8217;s plan, if implemented, would force airlines to ground all international flights to the affected airports, triggering an economic and logistical nightmare for the airline and tourism industries.<\/p>\n<p>Among the airports DHS will target is New York&#8217;s John F. Kennedy International Airport; Chicago&#8217;s O&#8217;Hare International Airport; Boston&#8217;s Logan International Airport; Denver International Airport; Philadelphia International Airport; Newark Liberty International Airport; Los Angeles International Airport; San Francisco International Airport; Portland International Airport; Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; And potentially others.<\/p>\n<p>Removing CBP agents from those airports would also impact airports with non-sanctuary jurisdictions. Those airports could be overwhelmed by increased flights and the diversion of passengers from international travel hubs targeted by DHS.<\/p>\n<p>Mullin&#8217;s ultimatum is the latest example of the Trump administration pressuring Democrat-led states and cities to comply with federal immigration enforcement actions.<\/p>\n<p>The administration has sued multiple jurisdictions in California, Illinois, New York, Colorado for implementing policies that violate federal immigration law. President Donald Trump has also threatened to cut off federal funding from sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n<p>Reprinted with permission from Center Square.<\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-wrap\">\n            <button class=\"worthy-pray-cta\" type=\"button\" data-post=\"114689\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.worthynews.com\/114689-dhs-threatens-to-halt-customs-processing-at-airports-in-sanctuary-cities\" data-title=\"DHS Threatens To Halt Customs Processing At Airports In Sanctuary Cities\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n<p>                lift it up in prayer<br \/>\n            <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-stats\">\n                <img width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    12                <\/p>\n<p>                    People are praying right now.\n                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width:95%;margin:20px auto;padding:15px;border:2px solid #523F7D;border-radius:10px;background-color:#f5f5f5;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#333;line-height:1.6;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Do you know?<\/strong> One of the best ways you can support<br \/>\n    <span style=\"color:#523F7D;font-weight:bold;\">meaningful news<\/span> Simply by leaving a comment and sharing this article.\n  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:10px 0 0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udce2 Social media algorithms push content when there is more engagement \u2013 \u200b\u200bso every \ud83d\udc4d like, \ud83d\udcac comment and \ud83d\udd04 share helps more people discover the truth. \ud83d\ude4c\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"descriptorhead\">latest lol news<\/h3>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 11:04 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        US military targets ISIS network accused of killing Christians in Nigeria\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 10:57 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Netanyahu orders IDF to expand control of Gaza to 70% as Israel targets Hamas commanders\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 10:50 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        DHS threatens to halt customs processing at airports in sanctuary cities\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 10:47 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Israel strikes Beirut suburb in strike targeting Iran-linked missile commander\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 10:35 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Trump considers 60-day Iran ceasefire outline as US demands open Hormuz, nuclear concessions\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 8:52 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Bangladesh authorities have banned the sacrifice of a buffalo named after Trump.\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 8:51 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        World&#8217;s richest households reduce dollar exposure amid US debt concerns (Qualified News Focus)\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 8:50 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Hungarian parliament conflict deepens evangelical divide after Orb\u00e1n&#8217;s defeat (Worthy News In-depth)\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 28 May 2026 | 8:48 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Chinese dissident detained in South Korea after escaping by sea\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-total\">\n<div style=\"font-size:1.1em; font-weight:600; padding:15px 15px 0px 15px;border:1px solid #523f7c; background-color:#f5f5f5; border-radius:5px; margin-top:7px;\">\n<p><strong>Fair Use Notice:<\/strong>This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
