States Are Green-Lighting Migrant Crime -- Trump Fights Back
By Betsy McCaugheyFebruary 19, 2025
New York is already getting sued by the Trump administration for prioritizing illegal aliens over the safety of Americans. Get ready for New York City to be slammed with similar suits.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul blusters that the legal action is a "worthless, publicity-driven lawsuit" that will "be a total failure." Hochul insists "New York is not backing not down."
She's dead wrong about the merits of the lawsuit. It's a slam dunk.
The state and its top Democrats are being sued over the Green Light Law, a brainchild of New York Attorney General Letitia James and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. It was passed and signed into law by Cuomo in 2019 to allow illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses without having to worry that their information could be accessed by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The law prohibits federal law enforcement from using the Department of Motor Vehicles database to see an individual's picture, address or immigration status, unless they get a warrant or court order, a time-consuming process. It's impossible during a traffic stop, for example.
