New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman plan to sue the Trump administration over the rollback of an Obama-era immigration program that grants more than 40,000 New Yorkers protection from deportation.
“New York will sue to protect the 'dreamers' and the state's sovereign interest in the fair and equal application of the law,” the Democratic governor said in a statement released Monday.
“Ending this policy represents an assault on the values that built this state and this nation. The president's action would upend the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people who have only ever called America their home, including roughly 42,000 New Yorkers. It will rip families apart, sow havoc in our communities and force innocent people—our neighbors, our friends and our relatives—to live in fear,” Cuomo said.
