DHS reiterates it could suspend international travel at some airports in 'sanctuary cities,' sources say

​Homeland Security Department ​Secretary Markwayne ‌Mullin privately ​warned officials could stop processing international ‌travelers and cargo at major U.S. airports in "sanctuary cities" that have ‌declined to cooperate with the ‌Trump administration's hardline immigration crackdown, sources told Reuters.

Mullin, who publicly made the ⁠threat ​in ⁠April during a DHS funding dispute, privately ⁠told travel executives last week ​that the department could opt to ⁠stop processing international travelers at airports ⁠such ​as Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, ⁠Newark, Seattle and San Francisco.

The ⁠Atlantic ⁠earlier reported Mullin's comments to travel executives.
