The U.S. government admitted late Thursday it had made false statements in a lawsuit brought by New York state and told a court it would immediately lift a ban on New York residents participating its Trusted Traveler Program.
The disclosure came hours after the Department of Homeland Security had said it would reinstate New Yorkers in the program, which allows participants faster passage between the United States and either Canada or Mexico.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan in a court filing Thursday acknowledged some other states and territories withhold driver information but have been allowed to participate. The revelations, they said, undermined a central argument that the government “is not able to assure itself of an applicant’s low-risk status because New York fails to share relevant DMV information.”
New York sued DHS in February, saying the policy would prohibit 175,000 New Yorkers whose membership in the program expires this year from re-enrolling, and would “cut off” 80,000 New Yorkers with pending applications.
