California to share driver's license data despite fears it could expose unauthorized immigrants
California's Department of Motor Vehicles will share driver’s license data with a national database despite concerns from immigrant advocates that it could expose unauthorized immigrants to deportation. The state budget and legislation include oversight measures to protect data, but critics argue these safeguards are insufficient. The data sharing aims to comply with the federal REAL ID Act.
