Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on Tuesday requested a review of how recent state laws allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driving licenses will affect enforcement efforts.
According to The Associated Press, Wolf sent a memo to agencies including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, and the Transportation Security Administration regarding the new law, formerly known as The Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act.
In it, he requested a study on how it will affect the Department of Homeland Security’s activities into immigration, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and counterterrorism.
According to his memo, obtained by The Associated Press, Wolf said that the department must be “prepared to deal with and counter these impacts as we protect the homeland.”
He also asked each agency take account of what Department of Motor Vehicles information is already available, how it is used in daily operations, and what the security consequences could be without the DMV data.
In December 2019, New York became the 13th state to allow illegal individuals to apply for and obtain a driver’s license from the Department of Motor Vehicles under the bill commonly commonly referred to as The Green Light Law.
It means that individuals aged 16 or older will be able to apply for a standard license, including those who have never been issued a Social Security Number.
However, applicants must show a combination of documents that prove their name, date of birth, and New York State residency, which include a foreign passport, a U.S. Municipal ID Card with photo, and a foreign birth certificate.
Other states to have authorized the law include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.

Saudi Arabia last month issued a de facto ban on child marriages throughout the kingdom.
Justice Minister and President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Dr. Walid bin Mohammed al Samaani, issued an order to the courts that any marriage application for an individual under the age of 18 must be referred to a special court to ensure their safety and determine whether or not it is in their best interest, according to The National.
The move is in accordance with the Child Protection Law, which stipulates that “before the conclusion of the marriage contract, it is necessary to ensure that a person marrying under the age of 18 will not be harmed, whether male or female.”
It states that individuals who conclude marriage contracts that violate the rules will also be held accountable and will be referred to the ministry and necessary legal action will be taken.
Saudi Arabia has undergone a string of social reform initiatives aimed at modernizing the kingdom and improving the rights of women and children since Mohammad Bin Salman became crown prince two years ago.
