Municipal ID law Has ‘Delete In Case Of Tea Party’ Clause

By Tara Palmeri, Feb. 16, 2015, NYPost.com

Get the shredders ready — the Tea Party could be coming.

The city’s new municipal ID program allows for personal info provided by applicants to be destroyed at the end of 2016, in case a conservative Republican wins the White House and demands the data, the law’s co-sponsor told The Post on Monday.

City Councilman Carlos Menchaca (D-Brooklyn) said the measure was crafted so data submitted by those seeking the cards can be destroyed on Dec. 31, 2016.

The cards are aimed at undocumented immigrants.

“In case a Tea Party Republican comes into office and says, ‘We want all of the data from all of the municipal ID programs in the country,’ we’re going to take the data,” he explained.

The next president assumes office Jan. 20, 2017.

“That date is an important signal to the future of immigration reform. That allows us to prepare for any new leadership,” Menchaca said.

Harvard Law To Honor Lawyer Who Lied About Anti-Cop Video

Students at Harvard Law School plan to honor the Bronx public defender who was caught lying about her organization’s role in an outrageous anti-cop rap video, The Post has learned.

Robin Steinberg is among 50 female lawyers and policymakers who will be lauded next month as an “inspiration” to aspiring attorneys at the elite grad school.

Steinberg, executive director of the Bronx Defenders, is serving a 60-day suspension after city investigators determined she tried to cover up her taxpayer-funded group’s role in producing a rap video that showed a uniformed cop with guns pointed at his head.

Two underlings were forced to resign over the “Hands Up” video, first reported by The Post.

Despite her questionable ethics, Steinberg’s picture will hang in a place of honor at Harvard Law’s Wasserstein Hall for two weeks as part of the institution’s International Women’s Day celebration.
