New York driver’s license law approved over Trump administration challenge.

A federal judge in Albany upheld New York’s Green Light Law, allowing the state to issue driver’s licenses without proof of legal residency, despite the Trump administration’s challenge. The law aims to enhance road safety and accessibility to auto insurance. The judge dismissed claims that the law violates federal regulations, emphasizing that federal immigration authorities can access driver information through legal means. The Justice Department’s lawsuit against the law was rejected, affirming the state’s authority to implement the Green Light Law.
