Dec 23 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit the U.S. Department of Justice filed challenging a New York law that President Donald Trump’s administration said was impeding immigration enforcement.

U.S. District Judge Anne Nardacci in Syracuse rejected the Justice Department’s arguments that a New York law that bars the Democratic-led state from sharing vehicle and address information with federal immigration authorities violated the U.S. Constitution.
