Andrew Cuomo said Friday he plans to sue the Trump administration over its plans to stop New Yorkers from enrolling in “trusted traveler” programs, a move the administration said was provoked by the state’s sanctuary city policies toward illegal immigrants. “There is no rational basis for this politically motivated ban, and we are taking legal action to stop the federal government from inconveniencing New Yorkers to score political points." The Department of Homeland Security said it would no longer allow New Yorkers to enroll, or renew their membership in, certain federal programs that make it easier for people traveling internationally to get through border security, including Global Entry. Cuomo said the lawsuit will be brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also recently sent subpoenas to law enforcement in Denver and New York seeking information on immigrants they hope to deport.
