Bill passed after 9-11 is rejected by traitorous judge.
NEW YORK — A state judge ordered the Department of Motor Vehicles yesterday to stop denying driver’s licenses to New Yorkers based on their immigration status, striking down a set of rules put in place after the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Supreme Court Justice Karen S. Smith granted an injunction yesterday that halts a plan to suspend the licenses of about 252,000 drivers who could not present a valid Social Security number.
“DMV cannot be an enforcer for the DHS (Department of Homeland Security),” Smith wrote. “It simply lacks the expertise and, more importantly, it has not been empowered by the state Legislature to carry out that function.”
DMV Commissioner Ray Martinez promised to appeal the decision, defending the state’s policy as a security-minded effort to verify people’s identity.
“New York state’s driver’s license is among the most secure in the nation, and we will continue to enforce our laws to ensure that it remains that way,” he said.
