New York Attorney General Letitia James has responded to the Department of Justice's recent legal action against New York State. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the DOJ is filing a lawsuit, challenging certain state laws.
In her statement, James emphasized the importance of these laws in safeguarding the rights and safety of New Yorkers. "Our state laws, including the Green Light law, protect the rights of all New Yorkers and keep our communities safe," she stated. She further affirmed her commitment to defending these laws: "I am prepared to defend our laws, just as I always have."
The Green Light law allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and limits federal immigration authorities' access to state records.
