Federal government admits making false statements to court in New York Global Entry lawsuit
WASHINGTON - 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.
In February, the DHS cut off New York from the program in response to the state's passage last June of a law allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licenses and limiting federal access to license information. The government's court filing said the agencies"deeply regret the foregoing inaccurate or misleading statements and apologize to the court and for the need to make these corrections at this late stage."
New York Attorney General Letitia James said Thursday the DHS decision to deny the state access was"political retribution, plain and simple, which is why we filed our lawsuit to stop the president from targeting and punishing New Yorkers."
