Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, explained on Fox News Wednesday how New York Law has protected “illegal immigrants.”
US Attorney General Pam Bondy has announced that the Justice Department is suing New York for obstructing Trump's administration's deportation efforts. This discussed state officials, including Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James and New York Motor Vehicle Director Mark Schroeder. “Jesse Watters: Primetime” appears in Turley Measuring He pointed out an unusual provision in New York law on this issue.
“One interesting aspect of the case against New York is that the law has a provision called a tip-off provision. Illegal immigrants are informed if federal authorities have asked about your status, and federal officials have said “Well, what do you give?” “You know, you're basically giving someone tip-offs that we're trying to arrest.”
Turley said Trump was openly saying his intentions.
“This is going to be a very interesting fight. There's nothing subtle about this. This is a smash saying, 'We're in conflict, so we have to settle this in court.” It's like an oral lawsuit. This is part of the general moves by the Trump administration, moving on and going ahead with these fights,” Tully said. “They want to establish rules, and President Trump said, “Look, I will comply with court orders that go against me. I will appeal to them, but we will do a judicial review. I hope.”
Turley detailed how “chip-off provisions” warn illegal immigrants when federal authorities ask about their status.
“The important distinction there is, Jesse is that there is a series of cases in the Supreme Court known as anti-commandering cases. And in such cases, based on state rights, the courts say, “Look, federal.” “We cannot request the state to function the government and carry out federal policies.” But that tip-off provision is a proactive effort that goes against federal enforcement,” Tarley said.
Tarly said the impact of the conflict would extend to federal funding and grants.
“And that might make that provision clear in the eyes of the courts. So, all of this needs to be shaken up in the courts. But at the same time, Congress will focus on city and state grants and funding. That's important,” Tarly said. “In my view, there is no reason why the federal government must grant grants to jurisdictions that are actively undermining federal efforts. And that also needs to be litigated. But they both You need to push the front line, and I think they are.”
Even though President Donald Trump has promised to be stronger than massive deportation and border security, both sanctuary cities, Chicago and New York, have been working to protect illegal immigration. At a press conference, Bondi discussed New York's “Green Light Act.” Established In 2019, residents age 16 and older allowed them to apply for a standard non-federal driver's license or learner's permit, regardless of their citizenship or legal status.

The Act does not require a Social Security Number and is intended to ensure that all licenses appear the same regardless of the documents provided.
“Rich criminals, gang members, drug traffickers, human smugglers will no longer terrorize Americans, that's why we're here today,” Bondy said. “We don't want to sue you. We don't want to prosecute people. We want people to follow the law.”
