ICE Cowboy Plotting to Sabotage America's Biggest Airports [View all]

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested Monday that he may retaliate against sanctuary cities by not allowing customs officers in their airports to admit international travelers.

Mullin, in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, grumbled about how his department has to deal with cities that limit or rule out cooperating with federal authorities’ attempts to enforce immigration law.

“Why is the Department of Homeland Security such a political hotbed? All they are doing is trying to keep our streets safe, trying to keep our nation secure, trying to keep bad actors from having terrorist attacks on the homeland,” he said. “It should be something we all get behind.”

Mullin, who took over the embattled department late last month after Donald Trump fired Kristi Noem, added that he didn’t believe it was “lawful” for sanctuary cities to exist. Therefore, he said, his department may do something to the major airports in them.

“One area we may take a hard look at is [how] some of these cities have international airports. If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?” he asked.
