Federal Challenge of NY’s Green Light Law is About Fear, Not Safety, Advocates Argue
The Trump administration is challenging New York's “Green Light” Law, passed in 2019 to allow all New Yorkers age 16 and older to apply for a standard non-commercial driver’s license, regardless of immigration status.
“Having a license has changed us,” said Luis Jiménez, president of the farmworker-led, grassroots organization Alianza Agrícola. “For me personally, it allowed me to take my children to school, and their medical appointments, without the fear of being stopped by the police and asked for a license.”
