A federal judge has given the green light to New York's Green Light Law, striking down the Trump administration's attempt to block the state from issuing driver's licenses to certain undocumented immigrants without requiring them to demonstrate citizenship. The law allows eligible individuals to apply for a full or provisional driver's license, regardless of immigration status. The ruling marks a victory for advocates who have pushed for greater access to transportation in the state. The decision is expected to go into effect immediately.
