Pam Bondi targets New York with immigration lawsuit

Published February 12, 2025 7:28pm ET



Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday that the Department of Justice sued New York, the second lawsuit in as many weeks against a jurisdiction with so-called sanctuary policies.

Bondi said the lawsuit zeroed in on New York’s “Green Light Law,” which prevents the Department of Motor Vehicles from sharing information it gathers about noncitizens with federal law enforcement officials. The complaint was not available as of this publishing. A spokesman said it was filed in the Northern District of New York.
