U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a lawsuit against New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, and NY Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of shielding illegal aliens in violation of federal law. Mark Schroeder, New York’s Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, is also listed as a defendant due to New York’s Driver’s License Act. This law allows illegal aliens to get a driver’s license. The law also prohibits some federal agencies from accessing New York’s driver’s license information.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against the state of New York and its governor, Kathy Hochul, and Attorney General Letitia James, alleging a failure to comply with federal law by shielding illegal immigrants, newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi announced at a news conference. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”<\/p>\n

Also charged is Mark Schroeder, commissioner of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles. Bondi cited New York’s Green Light laws, also known as the Driver’s License Act, which allows illegal immigrants to get a driver’s license.<\/p>\n

The law also prevents certain federal agencies from accessing New York State’s driver’s license information.<\/p>\n

“They have green light laws, meaning they’re giving a green light to any illegal alien in New York, where law enforcement officers cannot check their identity if they pull them over,” Bondi said. “And law enforcement officers do not have access to their background. And if these great men and women pull over someone and don’t have access to their background, they have no idea who they’re dealing with, and it puts their lives on the line every single day.<\/p>\n

“If you don’t comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable,” Bondi said. “We did it to Illinois, strike one. Strike two is New York. And if you are a state not complying with federal law, you’re next. Get ready.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
