NY Gov Cuomo Blocks Pro-ICE Police Agencies From DMV Records Unless They Sign Contract: Protect Illegals

Governor Andrew Cuomo blocked police departments across the state from having access to state DMV records unless they signed agreements not to cooperate with Federal immigration authorities over a person’s immigration status. This was done to protect illegals in the state who are now allowed to obtain drivers’ licenses.

Over 70 agencies found themselves suddenly unable to access DMV records at first, According to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.

First reported by CNHI that 78 agencies were blocked – the Division of Criminal Justice Services says there are now 59 agencies that haven't signed agreement yet. As agencies certify they won't share information with federal immigration enforcement their access will be restored. https://t.co/xBKyoDgL1W
