Bondi announces new lawsuits against states failing to comply with immigration actions: ‘A new DOJ’
The Justice Department has taken action against the state of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Attorney General Letitia James for their failure to comply with federal law regarding illegal immigrants. Newly appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement on Wednesday, revealing that charges have been filed against the state officials.
One of the key issues raised by Bondi is New York’s Green Light laws, also known as the Driver’s License Act, which allows illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. This law not only provides undocumented individuals with a form of identification but also restricts certain federal agencies from accessing New York State’s driver’s license information.
In addition to Hochul and James, Mark Schroder, the commissioner of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles, has also been charged in connection with this matter. Bondi emphasized the importance of states complying with federal laws, warning that those who fail to do so will be held accountable. She referenced previous actions taken against Illinois and reiterated that New York is now facing consequences for its non-compliance.
As this story continues to develop, updates will be provided. It is clear that the Justice Department is taking a firm stance on states that do not adhere to federal laws, sending a strong message to others who may be considering similar actions. Stay tuned for further information on this ongoing legal battle.
