If the Trump Administration follows through on the move, it could throw air travel—and tourism—at major airports across the country into chaos. It’s not clear how the Administration halting international flight processing in some cities would work in practice, but here’s what we do know.
Since Trump took office for a second term, he has made aggressive immigration policies a key focus of his agenda, including by targeting sanctuary cities. On his first day back in office, he signed an Executive Order, in which he said that the Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary should ensure that sanctuary cities “do not receive access to Federal funds.”
What airports could be impacted?
Many of the cities on the list have major international airports, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, and San Francisco. New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport are among the busiest U.S. travel hubs for international flights, according to the online aviation publication Simple Flying.
“Of all the bad ideas floated by this Administration, this one ranks,” Kayyem said in a post on X. “Planes don’t divert to other airports. The flights will be cancelled, disrupting blue and red voters, impacting the airlines, and having no impact on immigration policy.”
“This plan is actively insane,” Reichlin-Melnick said in a post on X. “Airlines cannot divert large numbers of international flights from one city to another; they’d just have to cancel flights en masse, causing enormous economic damage that splashed waaaaay beyond a few big cities that were the target.”
