Acting Secretary of DHS Chad Wolf announced on Wednesday the termination of eligibility for enrollment and re-enrollment in Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) for residents of New York.

cis.org/Press-Release/…
This is in reaction to the NY Green-Light law, which:

- Prohibits ICE & CBP officers and agents from accessing info maintained by NYDMV
- Relaxes the documentation standards for licenses, requiring the motor vehicle agency to accept unverifiable docs

cis.org/Report/New-Yor…
Ironically, DHS now has more cooperation and information-sharing with Canada, a foreign nation, than the state of New York.

The 12 districts with the lowest share of citizens has roughly the same population of voting-age citizens as the 9 districts with the highest citizen shares.

cis.org/Camarota/Impac…
This means Americans in the high-citizen districts have only 9 representatives in Congress while those in the lowest-citizenship districts have 12, even though the combined populations of citizens are roughly equal.

cis.org/Camarota/Impac…
Districts with large non-citizen shares of the population tend to vote overwhelmingly Democratic, while high-citizenship districts lean strongly Republican, but not as strongly as non-citizen heavy districts vote Democratic.

Removal proceedings for respondents subject to MPP are conducted in prefabricated buildings with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning — not tents.

cis.org/Arthur/Tent-Co…
The BIA just issued a decision holding that respondents subject to MPP who have received notice of their hearings, fail to appear, and are removable should be ordered removed in absentia.

cis.org/Arthur/Tent-Co…
It appears that many respondents subject to MPP are not appearing for court, and some are reentering illegally. EOIR should publish statistics on the number of those aliens who fail to appear.

The State Department has announced new rules to address birth tourism, which is the controversial practice of entering the United States to give birth so that the child will acquire U.S. citizenship.

cis.org/CIS/Birth-Tour…
CIS estimates that birth tourism results in 33,000 births to women on tourist visas annually.

Of advanced economies, Canada and the United States are the only countries that grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.

Residents of New York are no longer eligible to enroll in or renew Trusted Traveler programs.

abc7ny.com/politics/new-y…
Wednesday night, acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said that applications and renewals for Global Entry and other programs are suspended for all New York residents.
He said the DHS sent a letter to New York on Wednesday and the move is the Trump administration's response to New York's sanctuary law.

The recently enacted Green Light Law enables undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses and permits in New York.

Oversight Committee
@OversightDems
BREAKING: After Committee inspections of #DHS immigration facilities found serious problems, #DHS abruptly blocked further staff visits.

@RepCummings requests #DHS provide meaningful access to the identified #ICE and #CBP facilities.

oversight.house.gov/news/press-rel…
@RepCummings .#DHS testified at an @OversightDems hearing that they welcomed the Committee to visit immigration facilities and would engage in a dialogue about “improving the standards that exist.”

Last week, Committee staff conducted bipartisan site inspections of these facilities.
@RepCummings At #CBP facilities, Democratic and Republican staff heard many serious allegations.

Detainees expressed that toddlers—and even one infant—were being fed burritos rather than age-appropriate food and parents were not given a sufficient number of diapers for their children.

NEW: The think tank of sanctioned Russian oligarch Vladimir Yakunin is eyeing a potential expansion to New York. thinkprogress.org/vladimir-yakun…
Yakunin's the poster-child for numerous facets of modern kleptocracy:

1. High-level money laundering (reuters.com/investigates/s…)
2. Western reputation laundering (qz.com/1037549/how-th…)
3. Building mega-mansions with rooms devoted solely to fur coats (dw.com/en/sanctioned-…)
Yakunin's also been linked time and again to funding one American group in particular: the World Congress of Families, one of the most notorious anti-LGBTQ hate groups. thinkprogress.org/vladimir-yakun…
