The United States Customs Is Blocking Car Exports From New York

[tinrobot]

This week, the Department of Homeland Security has informed vehicle importers and exporters that all exports of New York-titled and registered vehicles will be on hold until further notice.

According to an email sent to vehicle shippers and customs brokers by the Customs and Border Protection agency obtained by Jalopnik, “Effective immediately, all exports of New York titles or New York registrations vehicles will be placed on hold.”

This development comes as the DHS reacts to the implementation of New York’s “Green Light Law,” which allows residents of New York to apply for standard non-commercial drivers’ licenses regardless of citizenship or lawful status in the United States. The law also prohibits New York’s department of motor vehicles from sharing data with federal agencies involved with immigration enforcement.

First, restricting New Yorkers from Global Entry, now this. More retaliation against New York.

1. So much for republicans and states' rights. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

6. They've never believed in that.

It's always just been their code word for segregation and racism.

[AllyCat]

10. No kidding

[Ilsa]

23. I know, but they like spouting it when convenient. nt

[Ohiogal]

31. And anti abortion crap

[treestar]

24. Property rights too

which Republicans are always so big on.

[VOX]

32. The BIG Trumpist *federal government* is determined to control women's heealth/reproductive rights.

They scream “big gub’mint!” if you even mention common-sense gun laws, but when it comes to women’s health/reproductive rights, they want MASSIVE federal government intrusion and control.

This American Taliban crap has to be stopped. They wield their pick-and-choose “religion” like a deadly weapon.

[MuseRider]

33. If they have the right

to own and care for their guns then we have a right to carry and care for our uterus. Damn these fuckers.

It is coming very soon, he is warming up on NYC right now.

[VOX]

34. Amen. I stand foursquare with you and all women.

A white male fascist theocracy is what they want. But we un-owned “libs” have their number!

[UniteFightBack]

2. WE must DESTROY HIM COMPLETELY and UTTERLY. nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Such bullshit.

I live in New Mexico, and this is a state that allows anyone to get a license -- so long as they can pass the tests -- regardless of immigration status. Which, quite frankly, is as it should be. Refusing to license certain categories of people means that those people will drive unlicensed. Yes, they will. And they won't have insurance. We want all drivers, insofar as is possible, to be licensed and insured. There is zero benefit to refusing license some people, and a huge downside in things like the cost of car insurance for the rest of us.

4. Ca;ifornia will be next

[shanti]

8. What do you mean, next?

We're getting all of the coronavirus patients.

[Ms. Toad]

41. only half.

six of the 12 current patients.

[Crunchy Frog]

5. Can we just secede already?

[triron]

44. Thinking about calling Governor Lujan-Grisham's office and advocating that for NM. Seriously

[struggle4progress]

7. Immigration enforcement has no clear connection to auto import/export

Government action should be clearly related to actual objective

[FuzzyRabbit]

9. The objective is to punish New Yorkers.

Any government action that hurts New Yorkers is thusly justified by the Trumpers.

[struggle4progress]

15. That much is obvious. I merely stated the traditional judicial view

[Sgent]

21. CBP

is in charge of export controls (the few we have).

My guess is if called out they will claim that they cannot verify title information on exported vehicles. Many states issue licenses to non-citizens, but I don't think most restrict CBP access.

[Igel]

42. The connection's in the OP.

You want to export a vehicle registered in NYS it means all the documentation with that vehicle is online with the NY DMV. Customs might want to verify a few things about the vehicle--like ownership, perhaps.

There's a new state law that forbids the DMV from sharing this information.

[KelleyKramer]

11. Trump is from New York

I love reminding 45 cult followers about that

[Captain Zero]

28. Not since last fall. I wondered what ulterior reason he had for changing his residence to Florida.

nt

[KelleyKramer]

46. He can move anywhere he wants, he still came from New York

I think he changed that about the time Trump had to pay a $2 million fine for stealing from charities.. maybe that had something to do with his change of address, to try to avoid more criminal charges or fines

[groundloop]

12. GOPers seem to all use the same playbook (i.e. Bridge-gate)

Damn that orange motherfucker needs to go.

[jmowreader]

13. Isn't this unconstitutional?

You can't have different laws for different states, and this would qualify as a "different law."

[edhopper]

25. As the Senate "Trial" showed

there is no longer any enforcement of the Constitution

[jmowreader]

40. Which means Trump shouldn't be protected by it

I can just see it...

“Hey...how come you think you can strip my citizenship and deport me to Russia? The Constitution says an American citizen can’t have his citizenship revoked.”

“So when did the Constitution mean anything to you, asshole?”

[tinrobot]

36. Not all states have the same drivers license policies

I think they're using that as the loophole to take revenge... on the state most likely to indict Trump

[jmowreader]

39. Which does create a problem, I would say

Because Trump has decided to attack New York, New York is now more motivated than ever to find a legally defensible reason to put him in Sing Sing for the rest of his sorry life.

[Igel]

43. It's likely the same law. Or regulation.

But in some states they can check title and ownership and in NYS they can't. If that's the prescribed process for clearing vehicles for export, then it's the same for everybody.

Think about the possibilities--you can export all the vehicles you like under assumed names and ownership, just forge the right documents. There's no way to confirm that the documents are authentic.

Sounds like NYS passed a law to show how just they were but didn't sweat the petty things. Now they get to fix it or just complain that bad people won't pass the vehicles other bad people stole through customs.

They were told in 2016 (yes, 2016) that the law would take affect on schedule in fall 2020 and if they didn't have a good reason for not complying with the requirements they wouldn't get an extension. It's a law passed by every (D) in the Senate and a decent number of (D) Representatives in 2005. However, the NY House delegation voted 19-12, if my count is accurate, against it back in 2005.

[SeattleVet]

14. New York needs to revoke all of the tax abatements they have given him.

He's gotten millions in tax relief for his properties and business interests (even given his usual penchant for undervaluing everything for tax purposes, but inflating the value of those same properties when going for loans). New York has a lot of really smart lawyers that could find the loopholes in the city and state's contracts with him and make him pay full fare on all of his NY properties and businesses.

Hit him right back, where it hurts him the worst.

[wnylib]

16. He never pays up on anything anyway,

so it would probably not have any effect on him.

[Captain Zero]

27. he moved to Florida, remember?? Last fall changed his legal residence...

nt

[wnylib]

29. Yeah, even here at the opposite side

of the state, the air smells fresher.

[atreides1]

30. True

But those properties are still in New York, and subject to New York laws, not Florida!!!

[PatrickforO]

17. Yet another scary action from the white supremacist Trump administration. n/t

[roamer65]

18. Province of New York.

It has a nice ring to it.

So does Province of New England.

[roamer65]

19. Start seizing federal properties, NY.

[AZ8theist]

20. No worries...

NY will have the last laugh when they lock up the orange asshole for the crimes he committed there. Tick tock, motherfucker...

[llmart]

35. I think that's what he fears the most...

which is why he thought moving to Florida was a good idea.

Hey, Donnie, you can run but you can't hide.

[AZ8theist]

47. Asswipe KNOWS he's a criminal....

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. looks like abuse of power again ...

Article I, Section 9,

No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one state, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another.

[Captain Zero]

26. would this be why HE changed his legal residence to Florida? hmmmm?

They were planning for this and found out it would have a negative effect on him and his spawn some way or another. My guess.

[tinrobot]

37. I'm wondering if this is more about New York's investigations of him

A way to punish them so they'll back off.

[GoCubsGo]

38. Letitia James is watching...

And, she is gathering more and more evidence. She is also not under Bill Barr's disease-riddled thumb, either. Better hurry, AG James.

[EndlessWire]

45. More people that won't vote for him. n/t
