CalMatters: ‘A betrayal:’ California to share data on immigrant drivers nationally

Khari Johnson and Wendy Fry for CalMatters report that the state of California is preparing to share with an outside organization information about driver’s license holders, including undocumented immigrants. "That breaks a promise the state made a decade ago when it began issuing licenses to unauthorized immigrants, advocates say, and it means more than 1 million people may face higher risk of deportation."

According to the report, if state officials fail to turn over the data, the Department of Homeland Security may refuse to accept California licenses and IDs at airports.
