A Federal Court has Upheld New York’s Law allowing Undocumented Immigrants to Apply for Driver's Licenses against a Lawsuit brought by an Upstate County Clerk who Claimed the Law would make him Personally Liable for Violating U.S. Immigration Policy.
In a Ruling issued Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Affirmed a Lower Court’s Dismissal of Erie County Clerk, Michael Kearns’s 2019 Lawsuit, seeking to Block the State’s Green Light Law.
Kearns had Sued Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), State Attorney General, Letitia James (D), and New York’s Department of Motor Vehicle Commissioner, Mark Schroeder, on grounds that he could be Prosecuted under Federal Immigration Law for Performing certain Duties under the Green Light law, which Shields the Personal Data of Applicants from Federal Law Enforcement.
Once the Green Light Law took Effect December 2019, Kearns posted “If you see something, say something” Signs in the Erie County Auto Bureaus with an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tipline Phone Number.
Judge, Barrington Parker, issued the Appellate Ruling Monday after Kearns Appealed.
“The Green Light law is legal and enforceable, and today’s decision marks the third federal court to dismiss challenges brought seeking to enjoin the law.”, James said in a Statement Monday.
