Gov. Cuomo Quietly Makes It a Felony For N.Y. Officials to Share Illegal Alien Driver Info With ICE
News Wars ^ | 05/27/20 | Dan Lyman

New York State officials who provide information about illegal alien drivers to federal immigration enforcement agencies can now face felony charges.

An amendment to the highly controversial ‘Green Light Law,’ which went into effect in December and cleared illegal aliens to apply for New York State driver’s licenses, was slipped into the state’s 2020 budget bill and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in April, in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.

It is now a Class E felony for state officials, such as law enforcement officers, to disclose DMV records with agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

“Border Patrol for example, working the highway in the middle of the night and pulls over a vehicle, they can’t run the plates to determine who owns that vehicle,” U.S. Attorney for the Western District of New York J.P. Kennedy told WKBW. “I think it’s legislating obstruction and it’s very concerning to me.”

“We’ve seen how important communication and coordination in coming up with a response to the pandemic and sort of causing people to work in isolation it’s a recipe for disaster,” Kennedy continued. “I’m very concerned about this and I think it’s 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.”

Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns says the new budget bill “basically criminalize[s]” police work.

“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.”

and a state can’t make it a felony to report a felony.

Trump has to send in the NG if needed.

We own a cottage in Ontario, and because we travel across so much, the wife and I both have Nexus passes.

The last time we crossed was a few days before the border was closed, thanks to the WuFlu. When we were coming back through US Customs, the inspector made the comment that both of ours come up for renewal in September and that we both should start carrying our passports when crossing, and keep them current, as we probably won’t be able to renew Nexus anytime soon. He mentioned that we should contact our Governor with any complaints. LOL

Sharing state records isn’t “reporting a felony.” If illegal aliens make up 5% of the licensed drivers in NY, then this means that 95% of the state records in this case involve people who AREN’T violating immigration laws.

The immunity fir nursing homes was snuck into the budget, too.

Wonder if the legislature will try to plead ignorance again...

An “enhanced” license is OK for air travel and for travel to Canada.

Cuomo is a mass murderer for what he did to nursing homes and should be arrested as such. He will then no longer care about making criminals of other citizens who would cooperate with ICE.

How is this not a criminal offense under the federal law about conspiring to harbor illegal aliens?

dp0622 @2: "there’s no words left."

Cuomo continues to give aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.

Yeah, there’s a few words. It’s called Cuomo likes to allow people to come into the country without checking them for diseases. It’s called Cuomo doesn’t believe in the threats he tells others to believe. It’s called he’s working against the federal laws.
