https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/nyregion/global-entry-what-to-know.htmlWhile it does say that renewals will not be allowed, it doesn't mention anything about applications in process - which seem to be a mixed bag here based on people posting.
Reading between the lines:
- This is essentially a grudge match between Trump and Cuomo
- There is likely a situation where DHS/CBP can be provided with some information to make this work
- Currently, NY is the ONLY state that has stopped providing DMV records in some form to DHS/CBP (The other 14 states still provide DHS/CBP with some form of information)
- It seems like NY Dems do not want to change their law
Interesting to see how this plays out.
