Department of Homeland Security issued a statement.
"This will protect criminals at the expense of the safety and security of law-abiding New York residents. Beside giving drivers licenses to hundreds of thousands of people who broke our laws and have come to our country illegally, the New York law also blocks DHS law enforcement officers who investigate crimes, like child exploitation, human trafficking, terrorism, the targeting of gang members, sex offenders and drug smuggling, from accessing important public records," DHS said in a press release.
"Accessing this information is vital to building out these criminal cases, identifying criminal suspects, and enhancing officer safety,"
