Why it matters

During an interview with Fox News on Monday the new secretary for DHS Markwayne Mullin said that the Trump administration is looking at ending customs processing services in cities who have refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Common ground

“Some of these cities have international airports — if they’re a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?” Mullin said.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
