New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump will meet Thursday to discuss a potential compromise with the administration after the Department of Homeland Security banned New Yorkers from enrolling in Trusted Traveler Programs like Global Entry that allow expedited re-entry into the U.S.
A White House official confirmed the planned meeting to Fox News.
DHS Secretary Chad Wolf announced the ban last week, stating it was due to New York not allowing federal officials to access state Department of Motor Vehicle records to conduct background checks on applicants. The restriction is part of New York's recently passed "Green Light Law," which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.
This comes a day after New York Attorney General Letitia James sued DHS for the ban, claiming that it was "political retribution" for the Green Light Law. Wolf has vehemently denied this.
"This has nothing to do with the law that they passed regarding providing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Again, that's wrong, that's dangerous, and that's irresponsible, but that's separate from what we did this week," Wolf told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."
Cuomo's office confirmed to Fox News that under the proposed new arrangement, DHS would be granted access to DMV databases for New York residents who are applying for the programs on a case-by-case basis and after the federal government shows cause for needing the information.
Wolf has stated that DHS would restore New Yorkers' ability to enroll in trusted traveler programs if the state "restores access to mission-critical law enforcement information[.]"

Compromise national security so you can curt favor with the illegals? Screw off Cuomo
Try following the laws
Cuomo is such an a**. Everything he does is about money. He doesn't care about anyone or anything. NYS should be fracking their heads off....and maybe we could pay our bills....instead of raping NY residents.
Here’s the compromise, Fredo.
You stop giving drivers licenses to illegals, and we’ll let your state participate.
it will be interesting if they can pull this off without changing the law. Not that democrats really care about law.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.
In other words, Cumo is a horse's a*s and had better get in line because the people complaining to him about this policy are businesses that provide major donations.
He’s up for re-election in 2022?
Hmmmm. Maybe Trump runs for Governor in 2026? Or Mayor in 2025?
Guess who folds?
That’s what I was thinking. That’s entertainment.
Cuomo already folded. Prior to the impeachment acquittal he never would have sought a meeting with Trump. The dems know Trump is now saddled up.
Mr. President: Never compromise with a snake. Especially a slimy oily one....
NO NO NO and NO
Don’t waste your time with these juveline bastards
They’re only willing to meet when their ox has been GOREd
Trump wasting time by meeting with an avowed enemy.
Remember, compromising with bad policy is like adding some sewage to your drinking water.
>>>Cuomo’s office confirmed to Fox News that under the proposed new arrangement, DHS would be granted access to DMV databases for New York residents who are applying for the programs on a case-by-case basis and after the federal government shows cause for needing the information<<<
In other words, the Feds will be able to access the information for the People who are applying. Duh...
It’s like a face saving gesture for New York.
Trump 1, Fredo’s Brother 0.
Cage match?
5.56mm
“Trump wasting time by meeting with an avowed enemy.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s personal, and he will enjoy seeing Cuomo crawl.

I hope and suspect compromise is going to require Cuomo to see it Trumps way.
When your enemy asks for a compromise that’s a sure sign you are winning and should continue on the same course without compromise.
