In radio interviews on Wednesday, the New York governor said he is prepared to make concessions He said he would allow federal officials limited access to DMV records But in exchange the Trump administration would have to reverse its move to block New Yorkers from trusted traveler programs
The ban announced last week was in retaliation after the state passed a law which allows undocumented migrants to apply for drivers licenses New York officials filed a lawsuit challenging the ban on Tuesday
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has indicated that he will make concessions to President Donald Trump in a long-standing dispute over the state's pro-immigrant 'sanctuary' policies.
In radio interviews on Wednesday, Cuomo said he would allow federal officials limited access to a Department of Motor Vehicles database if the Trump administration reverses its move to block state residents from Global Entry and other programs that allow travelers to avoid long border security lines.
The governor's unexpected comments came just hours before he is set to meet Trump on Thursday to discuss the issue that's had the pair at odds for the past week.

You dont negotiate with terrorists. Give Cu-homo NOTHING.
Limited access? No.
“limited access”?
Screw you Mario.
All necessary access at ICE and BP discretion or no deal.
I’ve seen pit bulls with better looking faces than that mongrel governor.
Tell Cuomo to go pound sand.
All his rich buddies, who will not stand in lines, told him to jump.
The matter is not for negotiation
Submit to federal law or suffer consequences

In this case, limited access would be access to records of those who have applied for these trusted traveler programs.
That didn’t take long! Stand up to these bastards and they can’t stand the heat.
Cuomo is making the President’s rules? Me think not.
But hes still going to give illegals drivers licenses? No thanks, Fredo.
Unless i am not understanding something..doesn’t sound like a cave?
Of course cuomo, like schumer, comes out of these meetings saying that they got a concession when they didn’t.
Have were heard from the President yet?
Heres what I think is happening ... New York State has filed a lawsuit against the Federal government over this. Cuomo is offering this limited access arrangement because he knows that when (not IF) New York loses that suit, there will be no limits on Federal access to the DMV data.
“Tell Cuomo to go pound sand.”
As my 90 yo mom would say: Go pee up a rope.
Elections have consequences.
Defections from Federal Law have consequences.
Cuomo and the DemocRAT legislature have never thought of consequence
of many of their liberal actions (ie.: SAFE ACT, DMV for Illegals, Rent Control, High Taxation, etc., etc..)
So many laws passed that had to be rewritten to comply with the rule of law.
This demonstrates the consequence of DemocRAT arrogance. Even the SAFE ACT had to be rewritten 2 weeks later
in order to allow police officers to be armed.
No. Limits.
I take this as a sign that the Democrats don’t think 2020 is shaping up so well for them right now.
