International flight processing at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport will continue, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Monday.

He said he sees no reason to pull federal agents from the airport, which could halt processing, to assist with security at a nearby Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center because of strong cooperation with state and local law enforcement in handling tensions between protesters and federal agents.
