Leader Schumer Statement On DHS Decision To Pause Global Entry During The Partial Government Shutdown
New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) released the following statement on the Trump administration's use of bully tactics by pausing the Global Entry program:
"Everyone knows Donald Trump and DHS use bullying tactics - this is another one of them.
"The Trump administration is choosing to inflict pain on the public instead of adopting common sense ICE reforms.
"In the 43-day historic Trump government shutdown DHS never changed the Global Entry program's status.
"Democrats are fighting against this exact kind of abuse."
