On February 13, Cuomo met with Trump at the White House details of the meeting were not disclosed. He said he would propose either a legislative bill or a change to the New York state budget to grant the federal government access to New York's motor vehicle data, but only to the records of trusted traveler applicants and members, and only on a case-by-case basis. Andrew Cuomo said he would comply with the Trump administration's request. New York attorney general Letitia James filed the lawsuit against CBP and DHS on February 10. They said the lawsuit would argue that 'the federal government's actions were arbitrary and capricious, did not provide state residents equal protection and violated the state's sovereign immunity,' as The New York Times explained. The next day, state officials promised to sue the Trump administration. New York did not immediately agree to these terms. The Trump administration said it would reinstate access to the trusted traveler programs if New York state opened its DMV records to the federal government.

This affected about 175,000 New Yorkers whose trusted traveler memberships would expire in 2020 and another 80,000 New Yorkers with pending applications. In response to this law, on February 6, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would immediately prohibit New York state residents from applying for or renewing trusted traveler programs including Global Entry. New York provides driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, as over a dozen other states also do, though none of those other states placed as tight restrictions on the federal government's access to DMV records. New York's immigrant sanctuary 'Green Light Law', enacted in 2020, prohibited its state DMV from sharing criminal records with the federal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without a court order. 2020 suspension of New York state residents Members of NEXUS and SENTRI are also entitled to use Global Entry. Present members of Global Entry are now permitted to apply to join the Privium program at Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport allowing entry into the Schengen area. In May 2009, Global Entry membership was expanded to include Netherlands citizens who are also members of the Dutch Privium trusted traveler program under the FLUX (Fast Low-risk Universal Crossing) alliance. Following a good reception by travelers, the program was expanded to include Los Angeles International, Atlanta-Hartsfield, Chicago-O'Hare and Miami International Airport. The Global Entry program was initially deployed at a small number of airports, including New York-JFK (Terminal 4), Washington-Dulles and Houston-Intercontinental. The program was discontinued in 2002 when the INS was merged with U.S. INSPASS operated with a similar system, identifying travelers with their handprint. 1.1 2020 suspension of New York state residentsДuring the 1990s and early 2000s, the US Immigration and Naturalization Service operated INSPASS, a trusted traveler program designed to integrate with Canadian and European programs, at JFK and Newark Airports.
