BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) In April, Governor Andrew Cuomo passed the 2020 budget, and in it, an amendment was made to a law that was passed last year allowing undocumented immigrants to get a New York State drivers license.
The Green Light Law also prohibited the sharing of DMV information to any federal agency in charge of immigration.
Last month, the original law was amended as part of the 2020 budget, now making it an E Felony for any law enforcement officer to share DMV records with another law enforcement agency in charge of immigration like ICE or DHS.
Border Patrol for example, working the highway in the middle of the night and pulls over a vehicle, they cant run the plates to determine who owns that vehicle, said U.S. Attorney for the Western District of New York J.P. Kennedy. I think its legislating obstruction and its very concerning to me.
Kennedy says this was done silently, amidst a global pandemic, and has concerns for the safety and security of New York residents because of this.
Weve seen how important communication and coordination in coming up with a response to the pandemic and sort of causing people to work in isolation its a recipe for disaster, he said of not being able to share information. Im very concerned about this and I think its very unfortunate and makes me really question the motives of the individuals that enacted this law, if their professed interest in public safety and public health is really as important as they say they are.
Kennedy says the law amendment also has a national impact.
If any law enforcement officer in Texas ran across a New York State registered vehicle they could not run that plate if it was any officer who was involved in the enforcement of immigration law.
This is shocking this is unheard of and especially during a pandemic that someone, the Governor, who is under so much pressure thought about that to put that in there, said Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns. We just had I think it was 29 people law enforcement people in the State of New York that just died from COVID, and theyre criminals now?
They basically criminalize police work in this budget, he said.
I just think its wrong to put the lives and rights of illegal immigrants over law enforcement, said Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw.
We reached out to the Governors office for a statement and have not heard back.
See!...even illegal aliens have their own Manchurian Candidates....
I would think this is unconstitutional, but who knows.
Federal Law vs. State Law, which one takes precedence?
In the case of Immigration Federal Law Trumps any state law. Period.
its time to start arresting ny state lawnakers.
and cut off all federal money from the state
Fine, just tell New Yawk they can no longer use NCIC to look up wants and warrants.
CC
And this will lead to more dead and raped Americans. The left gives zero fvks.
[[In the case of Immigration Federal Law Trumps any state law. Period.]]
Tell that to states with sanctuary laws that thumb their noses at federal laws- For some reason- the feds won’t enforce federal law in such places-
When will the Feds start holding state and city officials responsible for giving aid to and harboring Illegal immigrants. Federal law includes the death penalty for such cases if they lead to the death of another.
“Tell that to states with sanctuary laws that thumb their noses at federal laws- For some reason- the feds wont enforce federal law in such places-”
Deep State Swamp Creatures. President Trump issues lawful orders Deep State bureaucrats drag their feet moving at a Glacial Pace.
The Swamp is doing its utmost to wait out our President.
Gov’t workers have an old saying, Presidents and Congresses come and go but WE ARE PERMANENT.
Those Deep State Gov’t employees have a Globalist Anti-American agenda and they are secure in their Gov’t Union Contracts to protect them from reprisals long enough that their prosecutors will be long gone before any possible repercussions materialize against them.
Cuomo’s father Mario protected the Mafia. His brother Christ protects the concept of “insanity as normal. Andrew protects illegal aliens/criminals.
What is wrong with this picture?
The US government should cut off all funding to NY State until this law is eliminated. Perhaps Pres. Trump can declare New York state a criminal enterprise (aiding and abetting illegal alien criminals in order to prevent arrest and judicial processing (i.e. courts, etc).
Time to take the “war” on innocent people to the NY State leadership (esp. Cuomo, Lewis, etc).
Having said that, federal customs and immigration officials have a lot of leverage here. Just issue an edict that says vehicles with New York license plates crossing a border will he presumed stolen until the driver can prove otherwise.
Since Registration checks and DL checks are run automatically through the computer systems.
Takes seconds.
I really don’t think they can stop it unless they stop out of state inquirer’s.
They could possibly block certain NCIS identifiers as every law enforcement agency has one.
But determining what the checks are for is almost impossible.
Illegal aliens legally protected by leftists, Americans legally arrested for going to church.
So what happeneds if the illegal ventures out of NY into another state?
More importantly when is cuomo going to brought up on premeditated murder?
No Bailout for Failed States!
