Seattle-Tacoma International Airport could face significant disruption under a proposal being reviewed by the Trump administration that would halt immigration and customs processing at airports in cities designated as sanctuary jurisdictions, according to a report from Reuters.
Seattle is among the cities being considered under the plan, which Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed is still being explored. No final decision has been announced, and no operational changes have been made at Sea-Tac. However, the prospect of reduced or suspended customs processing at one of the West Coast’s busiest international airports has drawn immediate concern from airline and travel industry groups, who warn the move could create serious disruptions for travelers, carriers, and international cargo operations.
