President Donald Trump’s administration is suing New York over a 2019 law that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain state identification while shielding their data from federal authorities.
The suit, announced Wednesday by US Attorney General Pam Bondi, is part of Trump’s broader immigration crackdown, including a suit filed last week against Chicago over its so-called sanctuary city policies. The cases highlight a growing legal fight between Trump and Democratic-led states over immigration, one of the top issues that propelled Trump to a second term.
