Fact Check: Senator Markwayne Mullin's CBP Airport Plan Misrepresented as 'Secret Martial Law Blueprint'
A viral rumor circulating on social media claims that Senator Markwayne Mullin recently proposed a secret CBP airport plan that would turn all U.S. airports into "federal holding zones" under martial law. This is FALSE. In reality, the CBP airport plan referenced is a routine, publicly available proposal to expand PreCheck lanes and streamline security for international arrivals, introduced in a Senate subcommittee hearing last week. Mullin's office confirmed the plan focuses on reducing wait times, not detaining travelers. The fake "martial law" claim originated from a satirical website and was reshared out of context. Always verify sources before sharing.
