Annie Correal is reporting for The New York Times the Trump administration continues to target New York over passage of its Green Light Law, this time by crippling the overseas export of tens of thousands of motor vehicles. As a result, a busy industry that includes car dealerships, auction companies, exporters, freight carriers and shipping lines has ground to a halt. The restrictions, announced this month by the Department of Homeland Security, are delaying the export of all vehicles with New York state titles. But, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office and people in the industry said, the car export trade has not simply slowed, it has stopped. Ships have been detained at ports, containers unloaded and cars put back in storage. The new restrictions came at the same time the federal government started barring New York residents from trusted traveler programs, such as Global Entry. Federal officials tied their actions to the state’s passage of the Green Light Law, which allows undocumented people to obtain driver’s licenses and blocks federal agencies from gaining access to the state’s motor vehicle databases. More than a dozen states offer driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants, but only New York has shielded its motor vehicle database from federal immigration enforcement agencies, according to administration officials. A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the agency checks vehicle ID numbers against state DMV records to verify ownership and check for fraud. “Because C.B.P. [Customs and Border Protection] will no longer be able to carry out these checks against New York Department of Motor Vehicles records, the export of used vehicles titled and registered in New York may be significantly delayed,” the spokesman said. A Cuomo administration official responded, saying the agency could check if cars were stolen using a national database that is updated by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles.
