Mullin's Newark CBP plan ignites travel disruption fears
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is weighing pulling Customs and Border Protection officers from Newark Liberty International Airport to support enforcement at a nearby immigration detention facility amid protests; critics warn the move could cripple international flights and cargo operations, especially with the World Cup approaching. A final decision is not yet made, with uncertainty over protests' trajectory and White House approval, and industry groups warning of cascading travel disruptions if CBP staffing is diverted.
