WASHINGTON — Airline trade groups and even Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy have hit back at a proposal from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin that could have a “devastating” effect on travel and tourism in major blue cities. Mullin floated the plan to halt customs processing at “sanctuary city” airports that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration’s immigration agenda in an April Fox News interview — and again in a May 13 meeting with airline and travel industry leaders, The Atlantic first reported. Top travel trade associations have since come out publicly against the proposal, which was reportedly aimed at airports in New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco.
