The Trump administration revealed on Wednesday that it is suing New York State, accusing its officials of favoring undocumented immigrants instead of American citizens. The administration specifically criticized New York’s policy that allows anyone residing in the state to obtain a driver’s license regardless of their legal status or citizenship.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, in her inaugural press conference, singled out this law as a major issue, vowing for a stronger federal intervention to halt what she described as misguided priorities. Accompanied by federal agents in raid attire, Bondi emphasized that these practices needed to be stopped, although a representative of New York Governor Kathy Hochul did not immediately offer a comment. Meanwhile, details of the lawsuit remain pending in federal court records.
