WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has sued New York State officials over alleged failures to enforce federal immigration law, Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters on Wednesday.

The lawsuit, which also names New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James and the state's DMV head Mark Schroeder, takes aim at a "green light law" that allows people who are living in the country illegally to obtain driver's licenses in New York, Bondi said.

The department did not immediately release a copy of the lawsuit or any other documents providing details.

The lawsuit comes just days after the Justice Department sued Illinois over immigration enforcement.

"We did it to Illinois. Strike one. Strike two is New York, and if you're a state not complying with federal law? You're next," Bondi said.
