US Plans to Halt Immigration and Customs Processing at Airports in Sanctuary Cities

The United States is moving to suspend immigration and customs processing operations at airports located in sanctuary cities. The decision could complicate logistics for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, as several major international airports that typically handle significant passenger volumes for such events are located in cities with sanctuary policies. Sanctuary cities are municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, often refusing to detain undocumented immigrants for federal authorities beyond their local sentence completion.
