NY State Green Light Law specifically PROHIBITS NY State DOT from cooperating or offering info to Federal immigration officials.
why would any CBP manager, who must take responsibility for confirming a person’s “trusted traveler” status, ever agree to allow that for someone from NY - if they are barred by NY State DOT from getting any info about that person?
Its plain common sense.
You would think that the NY state legislature would understand when they word a new law this way, that inevitably CBP wouldn’t be able to verify info for anyone, including law abiding citizens. Then when the inevitable happens, they can get the compliant media to blame Trump for their intentional flawed wording.
