In the middle of last month, and in response to a sudden rash of horrific and fatal semi-truck accidents found to have been caused by illegal aliens with commercial drivers' licenses (CDL), the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, announced he was immediately imposing a radical measure in an attempt to get these dangerous, often non-English speaking hazards off American highways.
Calling the current use of non-domiciled CDLs a “national emergency” and a “threat to public safety,” the U.S. Department of Transportation plans to drastically reduce eligibility.
The new system will make non-citizens ineligible for a non-domiciled CDL unless they meet stricter requirements, including an employment-based visa and a federal immigration status check.
During a news conference on Friday, Sept. 26, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the changes are in response to a recent series of fatal crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers.
“We have a government system designed to keep families on the road safe, but that system has been compromised,” Duffy said. “I’m talking about non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses that are issued across the country. In plain English, this is a license to operate a massive 80,000-pound truck that is being issued to foreign drivers who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken. It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right now.”
He was shutting down the blue states' ability to issue CDLs to all comers.
1. Limits individuals eligible for non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs to those maintaining lawful immigration status in certain employment-based nonimmigrant categories, certain individuals domiciled in a U.S. territory and individuals domiciled in a state that is prohibited from issuing CLPs or CDLs because the state’s CDL program is decertified
2. Requires non-citizen applicants (except for lawful permanent residents) to provide an unexpired foreign passport and an unexpired arrival/departure record indicating one of the specified employment-based nonimmigrant categories at every issuance, transfer, renewal and upgrade action
3. Requires state driver’s licensing agencies to query the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements System to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of provided documents and information
4. Requires the state agencies to retain copies of the application documents for at least two years
5. Requires the expiration date for any non-domiciled CLP or CDL to match the expiration date of the arrival/departure record or to expire in one year, whichever is sooner
6. Requires the applicant to be present in person at each renewal
7. Requires the state agency to downgrade the non-domiciled CLP or CDL if the state becomes aware that the person is no longer eligible
This update of regulations would have rendered nearly 190,000 non-citizens' licenses invalid. That number alone tells you the size of the problem.
On the 10th of this month, a federal court ruled that Duffy's new rule could be 'administratively stayed,' effectively neutering the program before it even began while they looked into it....SNIP

No doubt there will be a judge who puts a stay on this measure.

FBI reveals report on alleged Chinese plot with fake US driver’s licenses https://share.google/ZsiKbF52eLcuTpuf0
The FBI has uncovered a scheme to allegedly fix the election using fake driver’s licenses, according to a report.
On Monday Congress was given an intelligence report that raises serious concerns that China had mass produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses
************************
(My wife had an imposter with an exact copy of my wife’s driver’s license and the imposter’s picture in it, show up at her bank in another city to withdraw $8,000 from my wife’s savings account.
Luckily, the branch manager thought it odd that this withdrawal was far from our home address and called my wife’s phone.
The imposter ran out of the bank, leaving the fake license with her picture in it.
On the 10th of this month, a federal court ruled that Duffy’s new rule could be ‘administratively stayed,’ effectively neutering the program before it even began while they looked into it....
