New York calls ban by the Trump administration from a program allowing travelers to speed through airport security lines a violation of the U.S. Constitution
NEW YORK - New York state sued President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday to void a policy barring hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers from federal programs that help travelers speed through airport security lines and borders, calling the ban political punishment.
State officials called the ban a “punitive measure intended to coerce New York into changing its policies,” violating the U.S. Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and equal sovereignty among states and its prohibition on federal coercion. New York said the policy would prohibit 175,000 New Yorkers whose membership in the programs expires this year from re-enrolling, and would “cut off” 80,000 New Yorkers with pending applications.
“New York’s economy will suffer as wait times at border crossings increases, employers doing global business are placed at a competitive disadvantage, and residents who rely on cross-border travel lose access to these programs,” it added.
