"It Stops Today": DOJ Sues New York, Governor Hocul, And NY AG Letitia James Over Licenses For Illegals

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...-james-over-licenses

The US Department of Justice on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the state of New York and key officials over the state's 2019 "Green Light" law, which has allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, while blocking federal immigration and border enforcement agencies from accessing the state's motor vehicle database.

The lawsuit, filed in US district Court in Albany, was announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi during a Wednesday press conference.



Aside from the state of NY, Governor Kathy Hochul, state Attorney General Letita James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder were named as defendants.

The 2019 Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act prohibits New York sheriff's departments and other agencies from sharing motor vehicle data with federal authorities for the purposes of immigration enforcement. It has allowed tens of thousands of migrants to obtain driver's licenses.

Yet, as the Times Union notes, the program has been mired in fraud.

The Times Union reported in 2021 that there had been allegations of widespread cheating in the driver permit program, involving schemes to illicitly obtain driving credentials for immigrants. Many of those individuals allegedly also used the licenses to falsely prove New York residency in order to receive unemployment benefits under the state’s pandemic-era Excluded Worker Fund. The $2.1 billion program had provided unemployment benefits for a short period in 2021 for immigrants who did not qualify for regular state and federal benefits.

In December, following an investigation by multiple agencies, including the New York inspector general’s office, five men, including two immigrants who had returned to Brazil, were indicted on federal charges in Massachusetts for conspiring to apply for New York driver’s licenses for more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants who did not live in New York.

Those charges allege the group’s conspiracy took place between November 2020 and last September, and that they typically charged customers about $1,400 to obtain a driver’s license. The scheme relied on fraudulent residency documents and falsified driving school certificates, according to the indictment.

When the law was enacted, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other Democrats said it was intended to improve public safety by ensuring that illegal immigrants are authorized to drive - with advocates remaining silent on subsequent allegations of widespread fraud.

"From a state point of view, I want to make sure the people who are driving on our roads pass a driving test. It is a public safety issue," Cuomo insisted during a February 2020 interview.

In February 2020, former acting director of ICE, Matthew T. Albence, said that law enforcement leaders urged Cuomo and state lawmakers to restore access to NY's motor vehicle database for ICE and the US Customs and Border Protection.

"New York has barred these two agencies, and only these two agencies, from obtaining information we need to do our jobs, and to keep you safe, and it was done purely for political purposes," Albence said at the time. "As a 25-year law enforcement professional, it’s unfathomable that information which could be used to prevent crime or a potential terrorist attack is purposefully being withheld in this state, the same state that less than 20 years ago suffered the worst terrorist attack on American soil."

Elon Musk is overwhelmingly the most important person in the Trump administration other than Trump himself, by a landslide. He is easily the most hated human in the Democrat world other than Trump.
What is happening right now would not be possible without Elon Musk. Thank God he came to help our side.

Remember Debbie Does Dallas in the 70s? Now we have DOGE does DOE. Big Grin

DOGE announced Monday that $881 million related to 89 DOE contracts was being cut
Trump blasts Department of Education as ‘con job,’ says he wants it closed 'immediately'
One report says the U.S. ranks 40th in education and first in cost per pupil

By Greg Wehner | Fox News
Published February 12, 2025 7:13pm EST

President Donald Trump called the Department of Education a "con job," saying he saw a report that the nation ranks 40th in the world in education but is No. 1 in cost per pupil.

Trump spoke with reporters Wednesday afternoon from the Oval Office and was asked how soon he wanted the Department of Education (DOE) closed.

"Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look at the Department of Education. It’s a big con job," he answered. "They ranked the top countries in the world. We’re ranked No. 40, but we’re ranked No. 1 in one department: cost per pupil. So, we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked No. 40."

Trump said the last time he looked at where the U.S. ranked in education, it was 38th, but then he looked two days ago, and the country had fallen to No. 40.

He even noted that China had ranked in the top five.

"As big as it is, it’s ranked in the top five, and that’s our … primary competitor," Trump said. "So, if we’re ranked No. 40, that means something’s really wrong."

The president has ordered the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the department led by Elon Musk, to find ways to slash wasteful spending, and the DOE made the chopping block this week.

DOGE announced Monday that $881 million related to 89 DOE contracts was being cut.

Of that $881 million, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to "help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis."

"Your tax dollars were spent on this," Musk wrote of the DOE spending.

Last month, Trump signed two executive orders on education, one to remove federal funding from K-12 schools that teach critical race theory (CRT), and another to support school choice.

The teaching of CRT and other controversial content in schools has sparked backlash from parents at school board meetings across the nation over the past several years. During his presidential campaign, Trump pledged to cut federal funding for schools that promote CRT, transgender ideology and "any other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children."

Trump has signed a flurry of executive orders targeting federal funding for schools as test scores continue to drop, according to the Nation's Report Card.

Trump administration officials are also reportedly weighing a plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, according to a Wall Street Journal report published last week.

I received material from the RNC and I worry about facts. Here is an alarming statement about illegal aliens and voting rights.

“Most state constitutions grant voting rights to “every” citizen, open-ended language that liberal activists argue permits localities to authorize non-citizen and even illegal alien voting. States should amend their constitutions to instead permit “only” citizens to vote.”

RNC maintains that they were allowed come in and eventually influence elections in Blue states where the vast majority settled and add to the census, thereby increasing Congessional seats.

Please, those who are knowledgeable, advise as to fact.

The DNC "TASS" agents now want proof of the crimes committed. That is something they never asked for during Russia-gate and were not interested in during the Biden-Ukraine shakedown, among many other Democrat foul deeds.

I believe Mike Johnson is much like Marco Rubio, an extremely intelligent man who is a very capable lieutenant. While not a rock-ribbed visionary leader on his own, he is highly able to carry out the directive of a strong leader to highest degree. I think he will be a much more successful Speaker now that he is part of DJT's team.

I think we may be getting ready to see and hear why so many in DC (not just dems) have been hell bent on not allowing Pres. DJT to become president again and would stop at nothing to not let it happen.

If P. Trump continues to provide VP. Vance with opportunities to show his merit, VP. Vance will effectively be running a 4 year campaign, have a stellar Resume and a thick portfolio of accomplishments.

And We the People... get the benefits of that that we never could have hoped for from mike pence.

And Trump also understands the seriousness of angry losers and their desperation, and is not discounting that.

Someone posted about how DJT is the real deal, same man, same persona on camera or off.


I think that is why he is so wildly popular with conservative “every day” folk. Just a “regular guy” (or as regular as a Billionaire /President could be…) that we can relate to, not. Politician trained to be a chameleon always changing with the audience, polls, wind.

Can you imagine any other politician “keeping it real” like this complication? (*Language Warning, may be NSFW)

I am really falling in love with Karoline Leavitt... she totally rocks! Very smart, quick on her feet, and it doesn't hurt anything that she's very easy on the eyes!

Pam Bondi is rocking it also; love that the DOJ is suing NY state, its governor, Flaticia James, and this Schroeder fella (not sure who he is, but assume he's been providing DLs to illegals based upon his position)!

I've been grinning from ear to ear for several weeks now, despite the fact that the good news in flowing in so fast that I choke on it. Like trying to take a drink from a fire hydrant!
