Currently, you can be eligible for Global Entry if you are a citizen of Argentina, India, Columbia, UK, Germany, Panama, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Mexico.
You can receive a NY drivers license without being a US citizen. The law was changed to reduce the number of unlicensed drivers in the state. The lack of citizenship does not prohibit someone from getting a driver's license.

So did NYS suddenly manage to reliably sort out DHS queries with NLETS from non-DHS federal govt queries before approving a response?

Don’t think this statement from NY AG means anything ...

You might be right. Regardless, I am off to get some popcorn so I have something to munch on while listening to the court challenge.

The whole thing doesn’t make sense at all.
While a New Yorker who is a US citizen can’t get Global Entry, an eligible foreign passport holder can get it......DHS can not even access foreign country’s DMV recorders.

Unlike Americans, Argentinians and Colombians, et al., aren’t entering the U.S. with their Argentinian or Colombian driver license.

This DHS block against NY residents also hits people who don’t have any DL.
This DHS block against NY residents doesn’t hit people who are residents of other states or countries even if the latter have foreign driving licenses or other out of state driver licenses.

Who is allowed to enter the US with ANY drivers license? A drivers license is not a valid identification document for crossing international borders, period.

It can be a valid ID for crossing international borders in some ways: mainly either as proof of identity for citizenship confirmation to take place, or as a sort of combination of identity and citizenship/legal presence confirmation for migration control purposes.

Do you know what information those countries must give DHS? Maybe there’s additional vetting we don’t know about.

That's completely irrelevant. My wife has GE and is a US LPR (which did require some sort of background check but not a check of foreign DMV records). And, if she got a DUI in a foreign country after becoming a US LPR, DHS would never have known about that, and there was no additional information requested from foreign countries required for GE approval.
