President Donald Trump’s government has filed a lawsuit against the state of New York and its governor, Kathy Hochul, and Attorney General Letitia James.he government is alleging a failure on the part of New York state to comply with federal law by shielding illegal immigrants.
The newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi announced this during a press conference on Wednesday.
This is a new DOJ. New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today,” Bondi announced at a news conference.
Fox News reports that 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 and also prevents certain federal agencies from accessing New York State’s driver’s license information.
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.
The Justice Department had also last week asked a federal judge to strike down sanctuary policies in Illinois and Chicago.
