A group of immigrant truckers sued California's Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday, alleging the state violated thousands of workers' rights when officials took action to revoke their commercial driver's licenses.
California officials said last month that the state notified about 17,000 truckers that their commercial driver's licenses would be revoked because the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S. That number has since grown to 21,000.
The move came after the Trump administration started cracking down on states' issuance of the licenses to immigrants. The federal government has threatened to withhold money from California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and New York over the issue.
The Sikh Coalition, a national group defending the civil rights of Sikhs, and the San Francisco-based Asian Law Caucus filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the California drivers.
“These drivers have spent years anchoring their lives to these careers, only to now face potential economic ruin through no fault of their own — they deserve better, and California must do better,” said Munmeeth Kaur, the Sikh Coalition’s legal director, in a statement.
The state's plan to revoke the truckers' licenses violates their due process rights and threatens their livelihoods, the groups allege. They're asking the Alameda County Superior Court to pause the license cancellations.
The California DMV said it doesn't comment on pending litigation.
Concerns about immigrant truck drivers gained attention after a tractor-trailer driver who was not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused an August crash in Florida that killed three people. A fiery California crash that also killed three people in October and involved a truck driver in the country illegally added to the worries.

The commies have convinced illegals that they have entitlements here in America. To be fair, under commie rule, they do.
America needs to go full Pinochet.
“These drivers have spent years anchoring their lives to these careers”
Let them pursue their careers in India.
“Immigrants” don’t have a “right” to American jobs.
The illegal alien scum has taken over our government. How do you “Americans” feel about that. You can answer after you’re through emptying your RV toilet tanks and poking the buffalo.

The “Sikh Coalition,” a national group defending the civil rights of Sikhs, and the San Francisco-based “Asian Law Caucus” filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the California drivers. Munmeeth Kaur, is the Sikh Coalition’s legal director.
The state’s plan to revoke the truckers’ licenses is said to violate their due process rights and threatens their livelihoods, the groups allege. They’re asking the Alameda County Superior Court to pause the license cancellations.
What you said, PLUS as illegals, I don’t believe they have a right to sue…
The Sikh Coalition is a 501(c)(3).
That status needs revisiting.
Have them come in to discuss this lawsuit in person, load them up on a tractor trailer and send them to who cares where.
Make sure they have enough money before this lawsuit progresses to pay for the opposing side’s legal expenses.
This is a total set up. Ca will take a legal dive to lose this case so it has cover to issue CDL’s to illegals.
California Plans to Reissue Contested Driver’s Licenses to Thousands of Immigrants Dec 17
California tried to reinstate immigrant truckers’ licenses. DOT said no Dec 21
No skills, fake license? - See you back in your home country.
Here illegally and they think they have a right to a CDL (probably fraudulently gotten in the first place by cheating) and then to sue if they don’t get what they want? This is even more reason to get them all the hell out of this country NOW. They can initiate their suits from India and see how that goes.
These guys Sikh attention, as the whores they are.
If they are here legally, it isn’t an issue. If they are not trying to maintain their legal status, what other things are they going to shortcut
So now that we know who they are, deport them.
Illegal Foreign Turd Flag burners are running California and Home Depot now.
Bingo.
