When New York City launched the nation’s biggest municipal ID card program last year, advocates said it would help people living in the U.S. illegally to venture out of the shadows.
But since Donald Trump was elected president, city officials are instead fielding questions about whether the cards could put those same people at greater risk of being deported.
The city has vowed to protect cardholders’ personal records and might even delete them using a kind of self-destruct provision that allows for the information to be destroyed at the end of the year. At least one state lawmaker has criticized that idea, saying it could make it impossible to trace people if they have obtained cards fraudulently.

Amen.
I’ll bet they can find a good consultant on destroying data up in Chappaqua. She knows how to clean those servers “with a cloth.” Price will be right, too.

8 years of this crap and the wonder why are so pissed off and resolute on cleaning house? The leftists would never have been able to stand the lashing the right took and now they're getting a small taste of it and losing heir minds.

Amen, Maudeen. GOD gave us reprieve. We must stand for truth and justice and give Him the glory.
The dems sure take better care of their illegal pets than they do their taxpayers...
and VETERANS!!!!!
Yep, you’ve got that right!
They will Bleach Bit the information?
Isn’t the destruction of government records a crime?
Not since Comey. They won’t have intended to do it, of course.

Jail them for destruction of government property.
Actively thwarting the Feds is different than passive non-action. I would hazard that when the first one is prosecuted the this the rest will have a come to Jesus moment - but they will be stupid and incite the illegals to burn their own cities....
Destroying evidence in an attempt to help someone break the law is a criminal offense.
Is there a Federal law against erasing municipal records?
If so, Trump (or one of his surrogates) should get out front on this.
