Friday, 24 Jul 2020 10:46 AM MYTWASHINGTON, July 24 — The US government admitted late yesterday it had made false statements in a lawsuit brought by New York state and told a court it would immediately lift a ban on New York residents participating its Trusted Traveler Programme.
In February, the DHS cut off New York from the programme in response to the state's passage last June of a law allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licences and limiting federal access to licence information. The government's court filing said the agencies “deeply regret the foregoing inaccurate or misleading statements and apologise to the court and for the need to make these corrections at this late stage.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James said yesterday the DHS decision to deny the state access was “political retribution, plain and simple, which is why we filed our lawsuit to stop the president from targeting and punishing New Yorkers.”
