New York sues Trump admin. over its decision to bar New Yorkers from enrolling in Global Entry and other Trusted Traveler Programs.
Calling the ban"political retribution," the suit said the state's standard driver's licenses have nothing to do with the federal travel program, which holds that applicants must"hold valid, machine-readable passports, lawful permanent resident cards, 'or other appropriate travel document[s]'" and be U.S. citizens, nationals, lawful permanent residents, or citizens of a partner country.
The federal action bans 80,000 New Yorkers who have applications pending from getting clearance, and will also impact 175,000 New Yorkers whose Global Entry memberships expire this year and need to re-enroll. It seeks a court order declaring the ban unconstitutional, charging that New York has been unfairly — and unlawfully — singled out.
