US EditionU.S. Senator Banks Introduces Commercial Driver's License-Related Bill Announced by Trump During State of the Union
- Yesterday at the State of the Union, President Donald Trump urged U.S. Congress to pass the Dalilah Law banning states from issuing CDLs to undocumented immigrants.
- Named for the child victim, the law follows Dalilah Coleman’s June 2024 crash when an 18-wheeler driven by Partap Singh, an undocumented migrant with a California CDL, failed to stop.
- At the State of the Union, Dalilah Coleman was carried into the chamber by her father, Marcus Coleman, and she suffers a traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy requiring lifelong care, the administration says.
- Indian-Origin drivers, estimated at more than 1.5 lakh nationwide, face tighter licensing as audits removed over 7,000 drivers in 2025 and California plans to revoke 17,000 licences.
- The administration has paired the legislative push with nationwide audits of non-domiciled CDLs, reintroduced strict English tests, stopped visas for foreign drivers as of December 2025, and threatened to withdraw funding from states including California, New Mexico, and Washington.
