Kentucky whistleblower claims licensing center sold IDs to illegal immigrants 'under the table'
Fox News ^ | August 13, 2025 | Lindsay Kornick

Former Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) clerk Melissa Moorman sued her old employers for allegedly firing her because she reported on co-workers selling driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Moorman discovered in 2024 that two co-workers from the Department of Vehicle Regulation were selling documents to "nonresidents" without proper immigration screenings or testing. Her lawyers argued that she knew of the crime after being invited to participate.

"The employees were being paid under the table," Moorman told WDRB News on Monday. "I immediately let my supervisor know about it."

She also informed WDRB News that these co-workers would sell licenses for $200 per person approximately four to five times a day, for over two years. Moorman said that every case she encountered involved an illegal immigrant.

After she reported the crime, the co-workers were fired, and a federal investigation was launched into KYTC. Moorman allegedly met with federal investigators in January after learning those employees were using her credentials and log-in information without her knowledge at the time. She has said that she was instructed by her supervisor to provide the employees with this information as they waited for their own credentials when they first started.

KYTC fired Moorman the day of her interview but, according to Moorman's lawyers, has kept her supervisor despite the "mismanagement, fraud, abuse of authority, and violations of law and statute in which he engaged that Moorman disclosed and reported."

"I was angry, hurt and depressed," Moorman told WDRB News. "I did the right thing. I told the truth. I should not have been fired."

Moorman filed the lawsuit in April, claiming that KYTC violated the Kentucky Whistleblower Act, which protects public whistleblowers who come forward with information about misconduct.

Is she saying that other people used her login for two years to sell ID’s to illegals? That doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Louisville was a high density target for the Biden Administrations migrant program. Ship into the area and flood its infrastructure.

The fraud won’t change anything and this is why:
“At the end of the 2024-2025 school year, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) reported having about 21,000 multilingual learners in the district. Those students are mostly those who receive English-language development services.

Jill Handley, the district’s assistant superintendent for multilingual learners, said if those students were a district of their own, they’d be the third-largest district in the state of Kentucky.”

This is a red state with blue cities that are being swamped.

Every place that I’ve worked has made me sign a document indicating that I would to share my login credentials with anyone. And this goes back to the 1980’s.

If this woman was allowing others to use her log in credentials, she was responsible for everything they did. It’s not even close.

It IS possible to tell your supervisor “No.”. That was also in our training, going back 35 years or so.

If I understand this correctly, it wouldn't be surprising if the money that illegal immigrants were using to buy under the table IDs was 16th Amendment-based taxpayer dollars. If such is the case, then career, "power of the purse" House members and the citizens who keep reelecting them can take some of the blame.

I have not changed my passwords since Windows 95 came around. Never had a problem. But I use complicated passwords with accounts which deal with monetary transactions such as banks & brokers.

About 50 years ago a Coast Guard licensing clerk in Seattle sold seaman’s documents to illegals.

The ID and password sharing, if true, illustrates why the DMV is do messed up! The DMV needs to ensure new employees gets access, even if under a temporary basis until the final is provided.

I’m talking about public institutions. In my experience they require periodic changing of passwords. If not, they’re lax with regard to security.

Passwords for personal accounts usually do not require changing. Changing Passwords for work accounts is the norm.

The RINO Governor of Illinois George Ryan went to prison for this. While he was Secretary of State for Illinois his employees in the DMV were selling commercial truckers licenses to unqualified people including illegals. They were doing it partially because they were expected to kick money up to the boss on a monthly basis just like in the Mafia. When one of those illegals with a purchased license killed 6 kids in Wisconsin the feds got involved and this piece of crap Ryan eventually went to prison.

Passwords stored in computer memeory are severely encrypted. No one can decipher those. Problem comes from someone observing your password when you type or you click on show the password. Or using a very simple password which is easy to guess.

This story refers to a woman’s password that was freely given to new employees while they trained. If she had changed it, they wouldn’t have been able to keep using it.
