Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law in 2019 during Trump’s first term. It opened the door to thousands of people with and without legal status to obtain identification and driving privileges in New York by allowing them to use certain foreign documents, like a passport, to prove their identity.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced legal action against New York officials over a 2019 state law allowing immigrants to obtain state-issued driver’s license regardless of legal status.

The new lawsuit comes after the U.S. government filed litigation against Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook County.
