Why we checked itBlakeman asserts Hochul reversed her position on granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, which is a verifiable claim about her policy record and current actions.
What we foundThe factual claim is supported: Hochul staunchly opposed driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants as Erie County Clerk in 2007, then reversed her position in 2018 and has since governed as a defender of New York's Green Light Law, which grants licenses to undocumented immigrants.
