California is preparing to share with an outside organization detailed information about driver’s license holders, including immigrants who do not have legal authorization to live in the U.S.
That breaks a promise the state made a decade ago when it began issuing licenses to unauthorized immigrants, advocates say, and it means more than 1 million people may face higher risk of deportation.

Can't have that; real estate is the biggest industry in the State.
Gotta be the threat to cut off federal funding transfers.
I don’t trust any data coming from Gavin Newsom’s administration - you can be sure the numbers will be fudged.
One wonders how many bureaucrat mouths that feeds. SSI is the biggest cash flow in the County of Santa Cruz.
the state was in the wrong to create the law, because federally it’s illegal.
It is better for state officials to repudiate an illegal promise than to get indicted by the Trump DOJ for harboring and facilitating illegal immigration.
What??? A leftest, A woke joke admin throwing someone under the bus????
That’s what good leftest do....
In reality someone or some groups revenue steam was threatened.
I like this idea, even if the far-leftist who proposed it didn’t understand the impact. From the article:
“ Rosenberg with Oakland Privacy suggested that the state might be better off opting out of the Real ID system than sharing information about its license holders, noting that more than 60 percent of Californians already have passports.
“I just wonder what would happen if the state asked Californians to get a passport in order to fly for a couple of years in order to protect 1 million Californians with AB 60 licenses. Maybe we should give people that opportunity.”
Any contract that involves illegal acts, violates statutes, or is against public policy is unenforceable. Examples include contracts to commit crimes or to bribe officials.
California driver’s licenses anyone can get one only requriement be warm.
So the California State Government knows of more than 1 million people in the USA illegally and has taken no action to enforce US immigration laws??? It seems to me that those responsible are complicit in criminal activity.
Debate is easy when your opponent makes a totally lame argument:
“That breaks a promise the state made a decade ago when it began issuing licenses to unauthorized immigrants, advocates say, and it means more than 1 million people may face higher risk of deportation.”
Totally lame responses give clarity.
DJT: Make America Great Again.
Governor Cuomo: America was never that great to begin with.
Then how are the DEAD in California supposed to get to the polls to VOTE ?
And has been since the FedGove "motor voter" statute enacted during the Clinton administration.
