DHS kicks New Yorkers out of federal programs that allow certain travelers to speed through border checkpoints because of a new state law that paved the way for undocumented immigrants to apply for drivers licenses.
Officials say that because federal authorities won't be able to access sensitive data from New York's DMV under the law, those residents will be barred from joining the agency's"trusted traveler" plans.
