DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just delivered a devastating blow to sanctuary cities, threatening to pull customs processing from their international airports if Democrats continue blocking border security funding.
Speaking on Fox News Channel's "Special Report" Monday, Mullin made it crystal clear that the Trump administration won't play games with cities that harbor illegal immigrants while demanding federal resources.
"The Democrats are wanting to defund" border operations, Mullin explained, forcing his department to consider "hard choices" like ending customs operations at airports in sanctuary jurisdictions.
This is exactly the kind of bold action Patriots voted for in 2024. Why should American taxpayers fund customs services for cities that actively obstruct federal immigration law? It's about time someone in Washington had the backbone to connect the dots.
Social Media Erupts Over Mullin's Ultimatum
Conservative voices on social media quickly rallied behind Mullin's tough stance. @baileyjer tweeted support, saying "He's reached a logical conclusion" regarding the DHS Secretary's consideration of pulling CBP from sanctuary city airports.
The move would be devastating for liberal strongholds like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, whose economies depend heavily on international travel and commerce. Imagine the chaos when international flights can't land because there's no customs processing available.
"THM News: Mullin Floats Pulling CBP From Sanctuary City Airports if They Don't Partner on Immigration Enforcement," noted @Darksideleader2 on social media, highlighting the Secretary's firm position.
This isn't just about funding – it's about forcing sanctuary cities to choose between their radical open-borders ideology and economic survival. For too long, these Democrat-run cities have had their cake and eaten it too, defying federal immigration law while demanding federal services.
President Trump promised to end the sanctuary city madness, and Secretary Mullin is delivering. Will Democrat mayors finally cave and start cooperating with ICE, or will they sacrifice their cities' economic lifelines to protect criminal illegal immigrants?
The choice is theirs – but the Trump administration isn't bluffing anymore.
