The president of the Air Marshal National Council, Sonja Labosco, is protesting President Biden’s taking U.S. air marshals from their in-air duties and sending them to assist at the Mexican border, saying marshals are now present on fewer than 1% of flights, reports Mary Ann Martinez for the NY Post.
A letter she wrote reads in part, “There have been numerous incidents — a level 4 threat which means someone tried to breach a cockpit two days ago on a Southwest flight. So the message is, ‘Sir, please replace the air marshals on the border. Stop taking them out of the sky and let us do the job that we were trained to do.”
