The Biden-era sanctuary state policies in California foisted on the state and Americans by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom have once again collided with federal law — this time on America's highways.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has admitted to illegally issuing 17,000 commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to foreign nationals who were not legally eligible to hold them, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday.
"After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed," Duffy wrote in a statement. "Now that we've exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses."
The revelation has triggered an immediate federal crackdown, forcing the state to revoke every single one of the licenses or face steep financial penalties.
According to Duffy, the exposure came after an audit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) found systemic violations in California's licensing process — violations that allowed non-domiciled, and in many cases undocumented, individuals to obtain credentials to operate heavy commercial vehicles, including semitrucks and school buses.
The Department of Transportation confirmed official notices have been sent to all 17,000 holders, warning them their licenses no longer meet federal standards and will automatically expire within 60 days.
California is also being required to submit a full audit of its non-domiciled CDL program so federal regulators can verify that every illegal license has been canceled — and to ensure the same policy failures do not recur.
Critics have long accused Newsom of using state agencies to shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement.

1000s of American jobs given to foreigners.

Love this bit...
“...This is just the beginning. California must revoke every illegally issued CDL or I will pull $160 million in federal funds...”
[Critics have long accused Newsom of using state agencies to shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement.]
Gee, that sounds like Racketeering....
Sec. Duffy, do NYS.
What did insurance companies and CA’s insurance regulators know and when did they know it?
Drivers licenses and social security number are all you need to register to vote in Calif.
Exactly
They will ALL claim ignorance
The results of zero consequences among bureaucrats and politicians for their illegal acts in public policy and laws. Put them in jail and good stewardship in government can revisit us. If you don’t, it will only grow into much worse.
Sadly, only lower-level schmucks will pay the price...
The CDL’s that Newscum gave the illegals are also “Real IDs”. If voter ID in federal elections were to become federal law, the illegals in CA would still vote in federal elections. I have only seen CDL’s confiscated by ICE, so not sure about the regular DL’s. Good thing is, DHS and ICE know what Newscum has done now, and they can do something about it - arrest his seditious azz in a pre-dawn raid at his mansion.
Wanna see the comedy from these foriegn drivers?
Watch “Bonehead truckers” on youtube.
Every state in America should looking at the names on that list checking it against accidents & road deaths and suing California and newSCUM for the pain, suffering and wrongful deaths.
The DOJ, FBI, IRS, need to put newscum and the rest of the ruling demoRAT under a microscope until we have found and arrested all those who orchestrated this travesty.
Expire within 60 days? How about expire immediately? You’re breaking federal law and you have 60 days to knock it off!! We’re serious!!
WTF!
Cancel them immediately!
Let’s see them try that under oath in criminal court.
My brother is a longshoreman in CA
He said most of the truckers who come to pickup loads barely speak English, don’t follow any rules & have caused several accidents. He said most are from El Salvador.
That’s not hyperbole. This is reckless and dangerous to everyone out on the road. Newsome and everyone involved with this should be held accountable, fired and prosecuted where needed. Newsome is not acting like an executive or functioning adult. This is dumber than a box of hammers level stupid.
Side note, attorneys that prosecute traffic accidents are about to make a lot of money.
Drivers licenses and social security number are all you need to register to vote in Calif.
no all you need to do is lie and claim you are a united states citizen...may have to prove residency-utility bill

Someone in President Trump’s team should offer cash rewards for being tipped off in those instances. ICE should set up shop outside truck stops.
