美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林一直在执着于一项惩罚不配合联邦移民执法的州和城市的计划：削减这些地区机场的海关人员编制，甚至可能完全停止国际旅客的入境通关流程。
但这项雄心勃勃的计划正遭遇阻力：该计划的潜在破坏性令旅游业和地方官员措手不及，遭到了一位内阁同僚的公开反对，且尚未获得白宫批准。
穆林本周早些时候在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，如果“激进左翼民主党人”不让联邦当局在其所在社区执行移民法，“那么我们也不该在他们的城市办理国际航班的入境手续”。
“他们不想让我们执行移民法，但又希望我们在他们的设施内处理入境移民？这在我看来完全不合逻辑，”这位部长说道。
航空公司方面尚未就该计划或其推进程度置评。若该计划得以实施，即便政府推迟到即将举办的世界杯之后再推行，也将对美国国内的贸易和旅游业产生巨大影响。连锁反应可能波及红蓝两州的大小型美国机场。
运输部长肖恩·达菲在近期国会听证会上批评了穆林的计划：“我们不该因为某个州不认同我们的政治立场，就切断该州的航空旅行，”他上周说道。
尽管穆林多次在媒体采访中提及这一想法，但两名知情的特朗普政府官员告诉CNN，目前并没有立即推进该举措的计划。
内阁内部普遍认为，这更多是穆林的个人意愿，而非白宫内部提出的政策。其中一名官员表示，自穆林今年3月宣誓就职国土安全部部长、接替被解职的前任部长克里斯蒂·诺姆以来，就一直“痴迷”于这个想法，还会在白宫会议上主动提及。
“总统喜欢手下不断提出新想法，但最终任何政策决定都将由他本人拍板，”一名白宫官员说道。
尽管在诺姆任职一年的混乱局面后，穆林被广泛视为国土安全部的稳定力量，且与总统建立了良好的信任关系，但他的机场计划可能会产生重大且广泛的影响。
一些特朗普政府官员私下承认，该计划可能会对国际旅行造成严重破坏，旅游业也公开表达了同样的担忧。
“削减主要机场的（海关和边境保护局）人员编制，将对航空和旅游业造成毁灭性打击，严重扰乱航空公司、旅客和国际货运的运营，”代表多家美国主要航空公司的行业游说团体“美国航空协会”在一份声明中说道。
倡导美国旅游业各领域的全国性组织“美国旅游协会”表示，其代表近期已与穆林会面。该协会在一份声明中称，穆林“证实了他此前的言论，即政府正在考虑撤回部分主要国际机场的海关人员”。
“美国旅游协会认为，此举将对旅游业和依赖国际游客的社区造成毁灭性后果，”声明说道。
尽管穆林将该计划宣传为惩罚庇护城市的手段，但一旦实施，其影响可能会更为广泛。国际旅客经由肯尼迪国际机场或旧金山国际机场等机场抵达美国，并不意味着纽约市或旧金山就是他们的最终目的地。
航空公司的航线规划早在数月前就已确定，考虑到许多繁忙机场没有额外运力，简单地将航线改道至非庇护城市辖区并非易事。
“庇护城市”并没有统一的定义。该术语通常指制定政策或法律限制地方当局配合联邦政府执行移民法的司法辖区。美国司法部去年发布了一份其认定的庇护城市辖区清单。
该清单自今年初以来似乎有所扩大。穆林经常批评弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格，后者本月早些时候签署了一项行政命令，限制州官员配合联邦移民执法官员。为华盛顿特区提供服务的三大主要机场中的杜勒斯国际机场和罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场，就位于弗吉尼亚州。
纽约市、洛杉矶、西雅图和费城也在美国司法部的清单上。宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗表示，如果联邦政府以“鲁莽、混乱、残忍的方式”行事，他的州“将做出回应”。
Mullin plan to punish sanctuary jurisdictions by targeting their airports faces fierce headwinds

- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin wants to punish sanctuary jurisdictions by cutting customs staffing at their airports.
- The plan faces opposition from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and the travel industry over disruption concerns.
- Two Trump officials say the proposal is not being seriously considered by the administration.
AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has become preoccupied with an idea to punish cities and states that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement — cutting customs staffing at their airports and possibly stopping the processing of international travelers all together.
But the ambitious plan is hitting turbulence: It has sent the travel industry and local officials reeling because of its disruptive potential, has been publicly opposed by a fellow Cabinet secretary, and has not yet been greenlit by the White House.
If “radical left Democrats” aren’t allowing federal authorities to enforce immigration laws in their communities, Mullin told Fox News earlier this week, “then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities either.”
“They don’t want us to enforce immigration but they want us to process immigration at their facilities? Nothing about that makes sense to me,” the secretary said.
Airlines, for their part, have not commented on the plan or how close they believe it is to being implemented. If enacted, it would have huge implications for trade and tourism within the US, even if the administration decided to wait until after the upcoming World Cup matches. Cascading disruptions could affect large and small American airports in red states and blue states.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized Mullin’s plan during a recent congressional hearing: “We shouldn’t shut down air travel in a state that doesn’t agree with our politics,” he said last week.
And while Mullin keeps mentioning the idea in media interviews, there are not imminent plans for such a move, two Trump officials familiar with the matter told CNN.
The push is seen internally as more of a personal desire of Mullin’s than one coming from inside the West Wing. One of the officials said Mullin has been “obsessed” with the idea since being sworn in as Homeland Security secretary in March to replace his ousted predecessor, Kristi Noem, bringing it up unprompted during meetings at the White House.
“The President loves having a team that is constantly coming up with new ideas but ultimately any policy decisions will be up to him,” a White House official said.
While Mullin has been widely viewed as a stabilizing force atop DHS after a chaotic year under Noem’s control, and has built up a lot of goodwill with the president, his airport plan could have significant and wide-ranging consequences.
Some Trump officials have privately acknowledged the havoc the plan could wreak on international travel, and the industry has made the same point publicly.
“Reducing [Customs and Border Protection] staffing at major airports would have a devastating effect on the airline and tourism industries, causing a significant operational disruption to carriers, travelers and the flow of international cargo,” Airlines for America, a trade association that lobbies for several major American carriers, said in a statement.
The US Travel Association, a national organization that advocates for all aspects of the country’s travel industry, said its representatives recently met with Mullin. The secretary “confirmed his previous comments that the administration is considering a withdrawal” of customs agents at some major international airports, the association said in a statement.
“U.S. Travel believes such a move would have devastating consequences for the travel industry and communities that depend on international visitation,” the statement said.
While Mullin has pitched the idea as a means of punishing sanctuary jurisdictions, it could have much more wide-ranging impacts if put into practice. Just because international travelers arrive to the US via airports like JFK or SFO, that doesn’t mean that New York City or San Francisco are their final destinations.
Airline routes are set far in advance, and simply changing those routes to land in a non-sanctuary jurisdiction would not be an easy task given that many busy airports lack extra capacity.
There is no one definition for a “sanctuary city.” The term is generally understood to mean jurisdictions that set policy or law limiting local cooperation with the federal government in the enforcement of immigration law. The Department of Justice published a list last year of what it considers to be sanctuary jurisdictions.
That list seems to have expanded since the beginning of the year. Mullin has frequently criticized Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who earlier this month signed an executive order limiting state officials’ cooperation with federal immigration officers. Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, two of the three primary airports serving Washington, DC, are located in Virginia.
Also on the DOJ list are New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said his state “will respond” if the federal government acts in a “a reckless, chaotic, cruel way.”
