The #DOJ under #Trump alleged the #law was impeding its ability to address a "crisis of illegal immigration" & argued the law interfered with the enforcement of federal #immigration laws in #NewYork.
It argued the #federal immigration law preempted the #state law & that NY's law impermissibly regulates the federal government in violation of the US #Constitution. The DOJ asked the judge to block its enforcement.
But Nardacci… said the #Trump admin had failed to plausibly allege the #law ran afoul of the #Constitution.
She said the admin could point to no federal statute requiring #NewYork to provide #DMV information for standard license applicants to federal #immigration authorities.
