This Explaination should be at the top for the most complete version of events... however it is missing one critical detail that will connect the dots as to why new and renewal applications from my are denied: Cuomo just signed a law granting undocumented persons access to a drivers license. Add the complication that it will also not communicate with Ice.. I’m not commenting on this as right / wrong... just trying to bring clarity to why there is a dispute between ny and dhs.

Also fwiw, real Id info sharing does not end with the “drivers license info” it requires states to share a ton of info that has nothing to do at all with your driving record.
