WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) – U.S. Department of Homeland \u2060Security \u2060Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on \u2060Monday he does not need to halt international flight processing at \u200bNew Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, citing cooperation from state and local law enforcement officials near a \u200cdetention center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As long as we continue \u200cto have this partnership with local and state law enforcement, then there’ll be no need \u2060to do so,” \u2060Mullin said at a press conference in Dallas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New Jersey Governor Mikie \u200bSherrill on Friday ordered state police to assume control outside a migrant detention center in Newark that had become a weeklong flashpoint for clashes between protesters and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sherrill, a Democrat, \u200bsaid she was acting to quell escalating tensions and episodes of violence outside Delaney Hall, \u2060the 1,000-bed \u2060jail operated by the \u2060private company Geo \u200bGroup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mullin again acknowledged he had a plan to pull customs agents from the airport to \u200bassist with security efforts at \u2060Newark Airport – a major United Airlines hub outside New York City – but said it was not currently needed because of efforts by state and local law enforcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Thursday, Mullin had warned that the Trump administration could soon stop processing international travelers and cargo at Newark Airport. Major airline, \u2060travel and business groups on Friday warned that barring border processing at Newark Airport \u2060or other major U.S. airports could lead to chaos, strand thousands of tourists and Americans trying to get home, and prevent crucial cargo shipments.<\/p>\n

\n

Mullin has repeatedly said he could also halt immigration processing at more than a dozen other airports in so-called sanctuary cities, including Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Shutting down all international flights in the 18 airports serving the sanctuary cities would result in a more than $70 billion hit to the economy and impact 68 million international passengers per \u2060year, the U.S. Travel Association said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Foreign visitors are expected to stream in for this month’s soccer World Cup, jointly hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The final will be held on July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, about 12 miles (19.31 \u200bkm) from Newark Airport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
