On 12 February 2025, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the State of New York and various state officials to prevent them from enforcing the "Green Light Law," which provides for driver licenses for illegal immigrants, bars the state from sharing information collected with federal immigration enforcement authorities, and requires that an individual be notified if there is a request for their information (CBS, N.Y. Veh. & Traf. § 201.12, see "12," US v. State of New York). A preliminary or permanent injunction preventing enforcement will count, as will a declaratory judgment that the law is illegal and/or unconstitutional (Cornell - Declaratory Judgment, Cornell - Injunctive Relief). A settlement between the parties that would prevent enforcement of any part of the Green Light Law will count, and a judgment or injunction preventing New York from enforcing part, but not necessarily all, of the law will count.
