US EditionCalifornia Revokes 17,000 Driver's Licenses. But the State Disputes It Is over Immigration Concerns
California revokes 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses amid federal audit and safety concerns; only 10,000 noncitizen drivers now qualify under new visa restrictions, U.S. DOT said.
- The California Department of Motor Vehicles admitted it illegally issued 17,000 commercial driver's licenses, the U.S. Department of Transportation said on Nov. 12.
- Following a DOT audit, officials noted the action came weeks after a nationwide commercial driver’s license audit launched after a Florida crash that killed three people and other fatal truck crashes in Texas and Alabama earlier this year.
- Affected commercial drivers were notified their licenses will expire in 60 days, California state transportation officials did not immediately answer questions, and DOT investigators reported one quarter of 145 licenses reviewed shouldn’t have been issued.
- Duffy has revoked $40 million in federal funding and warned of further cuts, noting only 10,000 of 200,000 noncitizen commercial license holders qualify under H-2a, H-2b and E-2 visa categories.
- The dispute pits the U.S. Department of Transportation against California officials as revocations follow a recent fiery California crash that killed three people and DOT claims of improper actions.
