The Department of Homeland Security has temporarily barred New Yorkers from several programs which allowed travelers to speed through security checks on entering the country
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - The Trump administration has temporarily barred New Yorkers from several programs that allow faster security checks when they enter the United States, widening a dispute over a New York state law limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told reporters the state’s lack of security cooperation with federal immigration authorities necessitated the suspension of the travel programs. President Donald Trump has made immigration crackdown a focus of his 2020 re-election campaign and criticized “sanctuary” jurisdictions during his annual State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, referring to cities and other jurisdictions where local officials decline to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer asked for identification to verify New York residency and then said all appointments were canceled.
