New York Residents Can No Longer Sign Up for Global Entry, DHS Chief Says [View all]
The Department of Homeland Security has suspended Global Entry and several other trusted traveler programs for all residents of New York.
Chad Wolf, the Acting Homeland Security Chief, was on Fox News Wednesday night when he told host Tucker Carlson that all residents of the Empire State will be unable to enroll in the programs that make flying both domestically and internationally smoother.
Wolf said that New Yorkers “can’t enroll or re-enroll” in the Trusted Traveler Programs — which includes Global Entry, Nexus and more — because the department “no longer [has] access to make sure that they meet those program requirements.”
The benefits of Global Entry include expedited passage through customs in the U.S., no waiting in processing lines or filling out paperwork at airports and eligibility to join TSA PreCheck.
