Flight Attendants Union Condemns Planned Customs Cuts at Sanctuary City Airports
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) has strongly condemned a proposal to reassign Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers from airports in sanctuary cities to the southern border. AFA President Sara Nelson described the plan as a politically motivated action that directly threatens aviation safety and security. The union argues that reducing customs personnel will cause significant delays for international travelers, disrupting commerce and operations. Nelson warns that this move turns a political dispute into a national transportation issue, potentially impacting both passengers and the economy.
