Republican senators have expressed support for a proposal by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to impose consequences on sanctuary cities by potentially withdrawing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers from airports in jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Senator Lindsey Graham stated that cities and states that undermine federal law should face consequences. The proposal aims to address sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, it has faced criticism from Democrats, who argue that pulling agents from airports would disrupt international travel and affect Americans returning from abroad. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has also opposed the idea, citing the importance of open travel. Some GOP senators have not yet reviewed the proposal and are seeking more information. The proposal comes as the U.S. prepares for increased international travel due to the World Cup.
