Rep. Claudia Tenney proposes a bill, the Red Light Act, to withhold federal funding from states that issue driver's licenses to noncitizens, targeting New York's Green Light Law.
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., announced a new bill, the Red Light Act, aimed at preventing states from issuing driver's licenses to noncitizens. The bill proposes withholding federal transportation funding from states that enact laws granting licenses or identification cards to illegal immigrants. New York 's Green Light Law , enacted in 2019, allows anyone over 16 to apply for a license regardless of citizenship status, making it a target of the legislation. Rep.
Tenney argues the law incentivizes criminal activity and hinders law enforcement efforts by restricting access to DMV records. Tom Homan, President-elect Trump's incoming border czar, furthered the criticism, suggesting vehicles with New York license plates should be barred from entering the U.S. via Canada until the Green Light Law is repealed
