NY doesn't generally allow a person to have a DL issued by NY and a DL issued by another state. I have no idea if this is actively checked.
The release could be worded to allow DHS screening of DL info from all states.
I'd be surprised if DHS would accept a compromise which restricted access to persons applying for GE.

Why did New York go through with this mess when California already set an example of how to issue drivers licenses (permits, but same idea) to illegal immigrants without making the DHS too angry.

Moderator's Note
For the second time today, please let me remind you that there is a very fine line between border security discussion and political debate and it is on the verge of being crossed.
Please do not go there!
Political discussions belong in OMNI/PR (access to OMNI is restricted to members who have been on FlyerTalk for 180 days and have posted 180 contributivemessages).
Yes, I understand that those of you who are not OMNI qualified are frustrated by not being able to discuss the political motivation of both the administration and the state of New York, and the ramification of it all; however, this has been our practice for almost as long as FlyerTalk has existed.
Posts of a political nature will be summarily deleted without further notice.
If you see political commentary in this thread, please do not respond, alert the moderator by clicking on the exclamation mark symbol in the red triangle on the left side of the post.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that the state will sue the Trump administration over its decision to bar New Yorkers from enrolling in Global Entry and other programs that allow travelers to pass quickly through airport security and customs.
"It's an abuse of power. It's extortion. It is hurting New Yorkers to advance their political agenda and we're going to fight back," Cuomo, a Democrat, said at a news conference.

It may speed up the access to enrollment offices and EOA in and around NY for those who are conditionally approved.

Downgrade Global Entry to TSA Precheck?
I'm among the lucky few who had a renewal canceled because of the NY state issue. As I no longer travel international as much and TSA Precheck seems to still be available to NY residents, I'd like to renew only the TSA PreCheck but don't see how that can be done. Anyone had success doing so? Thanks

hahaha first order of business before my Thursday AM workout was emailing Schumer, Gillibrand and Cuomo.
That said, I have yet to review my pending status but for those who were cancelled on, have you:
a) gotten any emails stating your Conditional Approval was already cancelled? and
b) already tried disputing the charge on your credit cards yet?

I thought New York would race to court on Thursday to seek a TRO, but that’s moot now, since all pending apps from New York reportedly were canceled on Thursday or Friday. It’s unclear what a judge could even do here. Even if forced to accept applications from New Yorkers, it seems like DHS could just let them languish in a pending state.

Yes, it’s still possible for many to apply for just PreCheck, even for many who are resident in NY.
You left out the White House switchboard number. For those who call up the White House over this issue, they may get the call routed to tally the numbers from the calls received on an issue.
