The same federal judge doesn't reject the Trump administration’s bid to stop the state from giving people driver's licenses without having them prove they are in the country legally.

You're driving within the boundaries of New York State.

And you inadvertently are involved in a motor vehicle accident with an undocumented immigrant with no driver's license -- and no auto liability insurance. (Because you can't get car insurance without a driver's license and registration.) And this immigrant is borrowing someone else's car or is driving an unregistered vehicle. You get the idea.

Your car is damaged or totaled. You're hospitalized for minor injuries -- or severe disability.

And maybe the driver of the other vehicle fled (hit-and-run) before the police arrive. Even if the other driver stayed at the site of the accident, you're screwed. They have no insurance, perhaps own nothing of value. Hell, you may not be able to get an accurate identity of the other driver.

And there would be lots of these drivers on the road. The courts would be flooded (best case scenario) or a multitude of hapless drivers would be disabled and/or bankrupt.

If the judge had ruled in favor of the Trump DOJ.
