US Senate panel pans DHS plan to stop customs processing at blue-city airports

In a Senate panel meeting, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended plans to halt customs processing at airports in cities governed by Democrats, sparking heated debate over federal immigration tactics. The plan faced criticism from Democratic senators who raised concerns about its impact on international travel and questioned the DHS's compliance with court orders. This move highlights the ongoing tension between federal immigration policies and local governance, especially in cities that have adopted more liberal immigration stances.
