Trump Administration Sues New York Over Immigration Policies

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced legal action targeting New York's 'Green Light Law,' accusing the state of undermining federal immigration enforcement.

  • The Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, filed a lawsuit against New York state, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Attorney General Letitia James over the state's 'Green Light Law.'
  • The lawsuit challenges provisions allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and limiting information-sharing with federal immigration authorities.
  • Bondi criticized a 'tipoff provision' in the law that notifies undocumented individuals when federal agencies request their information, calling it unconstitutional.
  • This legal action follows a similar lawsuit against Illinois and Chicago, as the Trump administration intensifies its efforts to target sanctuary jurisdictions.
  • President Trump has pledged to implement the largest mass deportation in U.S. history, with lawsuits and enforcement measures aimed at states and cities opposing federal immigration policies.
