A legal battle over New York’s policy allowing noncitizens to obtain driver’s licenses has reached the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, escalating a dispute that began under the Trump administration. The state’s program, which grants licenses regardless of immigration status, was challenged by federal officials who argued it conflicts with federal law. The case now hinges on whether states can issue such licenses independently of federal immigration enforcement. Legal experts are watching closely as the ruling could set a precedent for similar policies nationwide.
