DHS chief warns US could halt international flights, cargo at Newark over immigration dispute
The head of the US Homeland Security Department said on Thursday the Trump administration could soon stop processing international travelers and cargo at Newark airport because local law enforcement are not assisting federal immigration officials in northern New Jersey.
The head of the Department of Homeland Security has indicated that Newark Liberty International Airport might suspend international flights and cargo processing. This potential action stems from a dispute where local law enforcement in northern New Jersey are reportedly not cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
The Secretary stated that this lack of assistance could lead to the airport being unable to continue its international operations. The administration is considering this measure as a response to the ongoing immigration enforcement disagreements.
This situation highlights the ongoing tensions between federal and local authorities regarding immigration enforcement and could significantly disrupt international travel and trade at a major US airport.
