NY sues Trump admin after it pulls $73M in highway funding for not revoking non-citizen drivers licenses

New York filed suit Friday against the Trump administration after it pulled $73 million from the state’s federal highway funding after the state refused to revoke commercial driver’s licenses for non-citizens. 

The suit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by Attorney General Letitia James, is the latest move in an ongoing fight between New York and federal government over the state’s policy of allowing non-citizen residents to hold commercial drivers licenses.
