A whistleblower report has alleged that state officials issued driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants in exchange for $200, a claim that has drawn sharp reactions from state officials and legal experts. The allegations, which have not been officially confirmed, suggest that an illegal immigration policy may have been in place, enabling unauthorized individuals to obtain legal documents such as driver’s licenses.
Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who was recently appointed as the state’s attorney general, called the allegations ‘appalling,’ stating that such a policy would be a clear violation of state and federal immigration laws. Cameron emphasized that driver’s licenses should only be issued to legal residents and that the practice of exchanging them for cash would constitute a major breach of public trust and law.
The whistleblower, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly provided evidence of a system in place that allowed undocumented individuals to bypass official legal procedures to obtain official documents. The report has since prompted investigations into the legality of the practice and whether state officials were complicit in the alleged violations. This has raised broader questions about the oversight of immigration policy and the potential for abuse within government systems.
