The U.S. Department of Homeland Security renewed earlier warnings that it may limit customs processing at airports located in sanctuary cities. The agency said the change would be used to support enforcement of immigration policies.
Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The policy has been in place in various forms for several years across multiple U.S. cities.
Officials stated that reduced customs staffing could lead to longer wait times for arriving passengers. The agency did not provide a timeline for when any changes might take effect.
