See, in the United States right now, illegal immigration is a big issue, and during the Biden Administration, illegal immigration was at a record high. Now, under Donald Trump’s second term in the United States, people are fighting back and resisting against illegal immigration. And just like that, we saw the recent Pam Bondi New York Immigration Lawsuit in action, too.
For those who don’t have any idea about this case, well, it is actually led by Pam Bondi who is the new U.S. Attorney General picked by none other than Mr. President himself. And she is the one behind this lawsuit against the state of New York because they have a law that clearly helps undocumented immigrants get a driver’s license. So, let’s get to know the details of this case and try to make sense of things.
Here’s the Backstory You Need to Know
See, back in 2019, New York actually passed a specific law, which is called as the “Green Light Law.” What was it, though? Well, this law right here is the problem that a lot of people are going up against in a legal way. You see, as per this law, any illegal immigrant can get a driver’s license in the state. Like, even if you break the federal law by crossing the border illegally, in that case also, you’ll be eligible to get a driver’s license, which doesn’t make any sense, as per Pam Bondi and a lot of people in the country.
When this law was passed, the Trump administration tried to stop it, but still, back then, the Green Light Law stayed. But now, since Trump’s second term has begun, this law is once again in question.
Why This Law is in the Hot Seat
You see, it is not just the driver’s license accessibility that is the problem with this law, nah, there is more to it. You see, there is a mass deportation of illegal immigrants going on in the country right now, and this law is a big problem in that. How? Well, as per this law, if immigration agents ask New York’s DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), for someone’s information, the DMV has to let that person know, which will make them alert, and they might hide or go underground to avoid deportation. Similar questions about executive power and the legality of sweeping federal decisions have also come up in the OPM Mass Firings Lawsuit Ruling, where mass terminations of government employees led to intense legal backlash.
How New York is Fighting Back
Even though so many people see the wrong in this law and how it doesn’t make any sense, New York’s top leaders are still going against Pam Bondi. All they’re saying, for the sake of the argument that this law is there to keep the roads safer. Other than that, they’re saying that this is just a political show by the Republican Party, and nothing else.
A Mother’s Story You Should Not Ignore
See, when Pam Bondi filed this Pam Bondi New York Immigration Lawsuit, she brought a story to the public in the press conference, which puts into perspective how dangerous and unfair this law is. This was about a mother (Tammy Nobles) whose daughter was killed in 2022 by someone who was in the country illegally. And this isn’t the only case, right now, there are many boards placed outside the White House to show how many of these illegal immigrants have committed horrendous crimes.
