A federal judge on Friday denied a challenge to a law that will allow New York to give driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.

The law, which is set to go into effect next week, was facing its second challenge in court, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reports.

U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe ruled against Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola, saying he lacked the legal capacity to bring the lawsuit against the state over the new law.

[…] The law allows immigrants to use foreign-issued documents to prove their identity and age, and would not require a valid Social Security number to obtain a driver’s license in the state.

New York Attorney General Letitia James hailed the judge’s decision, noting that it was the second time a judge has dismissed challenges.

“We expect all public officials to comply with the law, and, as the state’s attorney and chief law enforcement officer, I will continue to vigorously defend it,” James said in a prepared statement.

Twitter users shared videos and photos said to show similar lines throughout the state.

A law allowing illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses in New Jersey was also just passed.

New Jersey passed a bill giving undocumented people access to driver's licenses and ID cards. It heads to the governor, who says he supports it.

As a reminder, NY AG Letitia James after she was elected in 2018 promised to “use every area of the law” to prosecute President Trump, his family and “anyone in his orbit.”

While the President of the United States is run through the wringer, illegal aliens are given drivers licences and allowed to operate above the law.
