SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico judge has blocked Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration from requiring some immigrants to recertify their driver’s licenses and verify if they still live in the state.
District Court Judge Sarah Singleton issued an order temporarily halting the license verification program while it’s being challenged in court.
A lawsuit was filed last week against the administration’s plan to check a random sample of 10,000 license holders who are foreign.
