Millions of international soccer fans traveling to the United States to attend the FIFA World Cup this summer could face major problems getting into the country in over half of the host cities.Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed on Tuesday that his agency was moving forward with plans to shut down customs operations at airports in sanctuary cities, or places that do not allow federal law enforcement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to take custody of illegal immigrants in county jails and state prisons.“We are currently drawing up plans to say, ‘Listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical Left Democrats aren’t allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities either because they don’t want us to enforce immigration,'” Mullin told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “They’re barricading our employees from coming in and out of the facility, then why are we processing international flights into the airport there?”
The 11 cities slated to host the games are Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle.
