Dromm statement on Judge Philip Minardo’s ruling allowing New York City to discard personal documents associated with IDNYC

UsaNewsOnline.Com Desk, New York, 7 April : “I hail Judge Minardo’s decision to allow the city to discard personal documents associated with IDNYC cardholders,” said NYC Council Member Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights, Elmhurst), lead sponsor of the legislation that created the identification card.  “Let’s be clear: this court case was motivated by racism and xenophobia.  I am pleased that the court effectively dismantled Assembly Members Ronald Castorina and Nicole Malliotakis’s effort to put our immigrant families in harm’s way.  We must never allow Trump surrogates to tear our communities apart.” Press Release.
