WASHINGTON – About 175,000 New York residents will be cut off from federal trusted traveler programs by the end of 2020 thanks to a new federal policy enacted in reaction to a new state law allowing undocumented immigrants to get drivers licenses, a senior Trump administration official said Thursday.

Those New Yorkers are due to renew their memberships in programs such as NEXUS and Global Entry, which are intended to speed the processing of Americans returning to the United States. But thanks to a new Department of Homeland Security policy announced Wednesday, those people will not be allowed to renew those memberships.

In addition, more than 80,000 New Yorkers who have applied for new memberships in such programs will not get them.

The Trump administration official said the Department of Homeland Security made those moves because New York's Green Light Law not only grants driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, but also bars the federal government from accessing state driver's license information.
