US EditionTrump administration pausing issuance of visas for foreign truck drivers, Rubio says
Secretary Marco Rubio halted all worker visas for commercial truck drivers following a fatal crash involving an illegally present driver who failed English proficiency, amid a 60,000 driver shortage.
- On August 21, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared an immediate suspension of all worker visa issuances for commercial truck drivers entering the United States.
- The decision to pause visas was prompted by a deadly August 12 crash in Florida involving Harjinder Singh, an Indian national and undocumented immigrant who faces charges related to the deaths of three individuals in the incident.
- Singh had not passed the required English proficiency and traffic sign assessments prior to making an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, which resulted in a crash that killed three passengers in a minivan.
- Rubio expressed concern that the growing presence of international drivers behind the wheels of big trucks threatens the safety of Americans and harms the job prospects of domestic truckers, while the Trump administration emphasizes English language requirements and license verification.
- The pause will remain while the Department of State updates screening protocols, signaling stricter enforcement and highlighting political tensions over immigration and public safety.
