Owens praises New York State Court For Standing Up For Immigrant Drivers

"With a considerable number of hard working immigrant drivers in the 11th Congressional District and throughout the city of New York, I commend the recent New York State court decision to halt the practice of seizing the licenses of immigrants without Social Security cards. It is a clear victory for the immigrant community."

"While the court order only temporarily bars the state from denying license renewals due to immigration status the Congressman emphatically expresses his strong support "that the decision to end the crackdown will become permanent."
