I heard basically the same thing - that no new trusted traveler memberships will be granted to NY State residents because of the decision to grant drivers licenses to undocumented residents along with officials being denied access to the back-up information in these computer systems. Not sure what news I was listening to.
Respectfully,

You will need your passport AND another form of ID to apply for GE....sooooooo how is an illegal going to go to step two.....interview Validity of the reporting makes little sense to me....and VERY suspicious Edit: reporting is accurate....and, as mentioned, it is punitive from the administration. Still can't see how they would get by the passport needed thing NY Times articleThe Trump administration has long taken aim at the state and, more specifically, New York City for “sanctuary city” policies that limit cooperation with ICE. But Mr. Wolf’s decision to suspend enrollment for the programs turned what had most recently been a public relations campaign against local politicians into a punitive policy affecting possibly millions of New Yorkers.
“This is obviously political retaliation by the federal government, and we’re going to review our legal options,” Rich Azzopardi, a senior adviser to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, said late Wednesday night.
Unlock more free articles. Create an account or log in New Yorkers will not be able to enroll in “Trusted Traveler Programs,” which allow people to cut through long lines at airports if they pass a pre-clearance with the Department of Homeland Security. Participants are granted expedited processing after international travel through the Global Entry program; from Canada through the NEXUS program; and from Canada and Mexico through the SENTRI program.
The Green Light Law was passed last year by New York’s Democratic Legislature and was signed by Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat and frequent antagonist of President Trump. Under the new law, county and state motor vehicles departments could accept applications for licenses, regardless of immigration status.
It provoked a sharp backlash in some moderate suburban communities as well as in some more conservative areas upstate. Several county officials refused to comply or sued to stop the law, though it proved popular in liberal enclaves like New York City.
Good pick up RonDon...I didn't see the report

I'm going to let this go a little longer because the original topic is about Global Entry, but all this political talk WILL STOP. NOW.

NYS DMV is now prohibited by law from providing criminal records to CBP and ICE which does make it hard to conduct a background check on a New York resident. But that is a thin veil over the real issue. I know this will turn political at some point. But NYS is a hot mess. Just saw on TV that a witness was murdered by MS13. All part of the new bail reform which coincides with the issues CBP and ICE are having. Sad state - literally. Spent Super Bowl with someone that is a Bronx or Brooklyn Assistant DA. And she said the public doesn’t see have the mess that has been created by sanctuary city laws and the new bail reform laws.
