Federal Judge Hands NY a Victory on Expedited Border Crossing Programs


A Federal Judge has handed New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) a Victory in his Long-Running Fight with the Trump Administration over a Prohibition on New Yorkers Enrolling in Expedited Border Crossing Programs.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Imposed the Prohibition in February, saying that New York’s New Law Allowing Undocumented Immigrants to Obtain Driver’s Licenses made it Impossible to Properly Vet Applicants to the Programs.

But DHS Decided to End the Ban in July when it was Forced to Admit that it had made False Claims in Court Filings.

Officials had Justified their Actions by saying that New York’s Decision to Block Federal Agencies from Obtaining DMV Records was Unique.

Several Other States actually Impose Similar Rules.

In the Opinion Released on, Tuesday Oct. 13th, Southern District of New York Judge, Jesse Furman, wrote: “That the Federal Decision was Unlawful from the get-go and that it should be Vacated to ensure that it cannot be reinstated. The decision was plainly arbitrary and capricious.”
