The U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary has indicated a possible withdrawal of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers from airports located in designated sanctuary cities. This development has generated unease among major U.S. airlines and key stakeholders within the travel industry.

Industry representatives have cautioned that the removal of CBP personnel from these airports could result in extensive disruptions to flight operations and hinder tourism activity. Concerns focus on the potential for delays and operational challenges affecting air travel at the affected locations.
