Bondi criticized New\u2063 York&#8217;s handling of \u2063illegal immigration,emphasizing\u2064 that the\u200c state \u2064has \u2063not complied with federal laws. The \u2062lawsuit targets several key officials, \u200bincluding Governor \u2062Kathy Hochul, Attorney General \u2064Letitia\u2064 James, \u200band the DMV Commissioner, Mark Schroeder. Bondi stated that New York&#8217;s DMV has\u200b provisions that \u2062inform illegal aliens when <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">federal immigration agencies request<\/a>\u200b their data,which she deems unconstitutional.
