If evidence continues to come out detailing the ways DHS considered retribution against NYS, they should have a pretty easy job of making that argument. The plan to shut down TSA Precheck lines in airports throughout NY was particularly egregious.

According to a DHS memo, the administration considered using “friendly” states to discreetly collect information for federal immigration authorities that would otherwise be inaccessible by law. The plans also include retaliation measures against states that limit access to records, such as closing down DHS offices there, refusing to accept their state identification, cutting TSA PreCheck services, and potentially subpoenaing for drivers’ licenses provided to undocumented immigrants.
