In a bold move to uphold federal immigration laws, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New York state officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit challenges New York’s “Green Light Law,” which permits undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and restricts federal immigration authorities from accessing state motor vehicle records.
Prioritizing Illegal Aliens Over American Citizens
Attorney General Bondi emphasized that New York’s policies endanger public safety by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens. She stated, “This is a new DOJ. New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.”
Legal Grounds for the Lawsuit
The lawsuit asserts that New York’s law violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which establishes that federal law takes precedence over state laws. By obstructing federal immigration enforcement, New York’s policies are deemed unconstitutional.
Impact on Federal Funding
In conjunction with the lawsuit, the Trump administration is revoking $80 million in federal funding intended for migrant housing and services in New York City. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem justified this action, stating it was necessary to protect American interests.
A Call to Uphold the Rule of Law
This legal action underscores the administration’s commitment to enforcing federal immigration laws and holding states accountable for policies that undermine national security. Attorney General Bondi warned other states with similar sanctuary policies: “If you don’t comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable.”
