Makes sense

Will cause uproar, but I agree the information typically used for the application reviews would be much more difficult and suspect

Good reminder to renew your documents ASAP.

This is how a government suspends popular programs without causing an uproar: selectively, one group at a time, supposedly for "reasonable" causes.... until almost any cause seems "reasonable."

"Former acting ICE Director John Sandweg told CNN that sanctuary policies do not affect how the Department of Homeland Security vets people for Global Entry and other Trusted Traveler Programs.
"This is just irrational in the sense that sanctuary policies in no way shape or form affect DHS' ability to vet people for global entry and other trusted traveler programs," he said.

"It's ridiculous, and it's politicizing a program that's not about politics. It's trying to match two totally unrelated things. It's just ridiculous," he said, adding, "It's the kind of thing that's going to, frankly, politicize the department in a way that's going to undermine its mission moving forward.""

Short term, Obama appointee, on CNN... Not really much of a rep for the DHS.

I re-applied almost a year ago and I’m still waiting for approval. Crazy! And they actually say it’s because of the government shutdown still.

BS.

Anyways, hope we can get Donaldo outta there in November.
