LEX18 ^ | August 13, 2025 | Karolina Buczek

Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed that almost 2,000 Kentucky driver's licenses have been revoked following allegations of a fraud scheme involving undocumented immigrants.

The governor said 1,985 driver's licenses were discovered during routine reviews of credential applications and have since been revoked.

The revoked credentials, if used, would not work at an airport and would be flagged if pulled over at a traffic stop," Beshear said on Wednesday.

Beshear addressed the criminal investigation after a news report detailed a former clerk's allegations earlier this week.

A former clerk told WDRB News that her co-workers were selling driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants for $200. She alleged this happened four to five times per day for at least two years at multiple branches across Kentucky.

“””Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed that almost 2,000 Kentucky driver’s licenses have been revoked””””


Even DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR Andy Beshear has to admit that illegals are causing problems and even more he has to admit that people under his authority have been violating laws.

Another win for Trump.

And let’s hope the good folks of Kentucky give Beshear the heave-ho.

So, if Kentucky has revoked 2,000 DL (so far)….. how many fraudulent DL were issued in California?

“””So, if Kentucky has revoked 2,000 DL (so far)….. how many fraudulent DL were issued in California?”””

Here in Minnesota illegals can get drivers licenses.

Immigration status

DVS does not ask if, or track whether, a person is undocumented when they apply for a standard license or ID card.
When a Minnesotan applies for or gets a standard license or ID card, DVS cannot share information about the application, driver’s license or ID card with agencies that primarily enforce immigration law unless ordered to by a court.
Agencies that receive DVS data about standard licenses or ID cards must certify they will not share the data with state or federal agencies that primarily enforce immigration law. Any requestor who violates this may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

The only answer I see is more severe punishments & removal from any type of public service.

Do New Mexico next, please. They issue drivers licenses to illegals here. Even though the citizens were more than 2-1 against it.

I’m sure this is only isolated to KY
And I’m sure none of these people used their fake licenses to register to vote

Plus the media told me this kind of stuff never happens

I questioned this and Steve Simon, MN sec of state, said that only legal citizens vote.

The election laws in Minnesota prove ANYONE can vote.
No id required to register or to vote.
You can bring up to 8 people with you to vote and vouch for them.
If you work at a homeless shelter you can bring as many as you want and vouch for them.
You can say you are homeless and give your address as the nearest park bench.
