Mullin, who publicly made the threat in April during a Department of Homeland Security funding dispute, privately told travel executives last week that the department could opt to stop customs and immigrations processing of international travelers at airports in cities such as Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, Seattle and San Francisco. The Atlantic earlier reported Mullin's comments to travel executives and cited sources as saying the move would likely occur some time after the end of the FIFA World Cup in the United States in July.
