What is the immediate impact of the federal lawsuit against New York's Green Light Law, and how does it affect other states with similar legislation?

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing New York State over its law granting driver's licenses to immigrants regardless of legal status. This follows similar laws in 19 other states and D.C., allowing an estimated 81,000 individuals in Minnesota alone to obtain licenses without proof of legal residency. The lawsuit claims the law violates the Constitution by potentially hindering federal immigration enforcement.
