More than 20,000 immigrant truck drivers will be able to keep their licenses in California, at least temporarily, despite efforts by the Trump administration and the state of California to revoke them, according to a tentative ruling Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court.
The decision puts the state of California in a bind. The U.S. Department of Transportation already has repeatedly pushed the California Department of Motor Vehicles to rescind these licenses, which belong to many asylum seekers and other immigrants with temporary legal status, after the federal government found alleged clerical issues regarding the expiration dates on their licenses. The California DMV complied with the transportation department's demands and sent letters to more than 20,000 drivers last fall, telling them that their California licenses would expire in the next 60 days.
But after a law firm and two legal advocacy groups, the Asian Law Caucus and the Sikh Coalition, sued on behalf of truckers, saying that the state didn't follow the proper process for rescinding their licenses, the state extended the expiration dates to March 6. The transportation department said in January that it will withhold $160 million in federal highway funds from California as punishment for extending the expiration dates.
While immigrant drivers in the courtroom celebrated today's tentative decision, attorneys for the state of California said the judge's ruling could hurt many more people. The Trump administration has threatened to rescind California's ability to grant commercial licenses altogether if the state doesn't comply with its orders regarding immigrant truckers.
Forcing the DMV to keep these 20,000 licenses intact "will risk the ultimate harm that California is trying to avoid," said Barbara Horne-Petersdorf, an attorney with the California Department of Justice. "DMV is not insulated from any retaliatory action." All told, about 700,000 drivers in California have commercial

As was said “these people are crazy”
Fact, I’ve drove over interstate highways since I was 16. Dad put over a million miles on a big truck. In the 50’s, 60’s, and until the 90’s or so. The truckers were the Knights of the highways. Then this liberal crap came along. One of these drivers, who can’t read has an accident involving anyone associated with me better die. If I get there before the cops he as good as ded.
Seems like we’re bombing the wrong ones this morning

STUPID EVIL JUDGE!! How many MORE people need to DIE??
Notice that the media will always use the term “immigrant” as a generic, catchall term without making the distinction between legal immigrants and those who are here illegally. They think we are too stupid to notice this intentional obfuscation.
Alameda COUNTY judge setting national policy?????
Keep your powder dry, Men…
The Judiciary Act of 1898 is on ever thinning ice. A supermajority in Congress will remove life appointments and nationwide power of district judges when it does. It might be the most important statutory law ever to be amended.

Does the evil judge has a chauffeur on the payroll?
License to kill
Someone leak the judge’s address to Iran.
Would it be wrong to hope that the judge’s family is suddenly annihilated on the 101 by an illegal driving with a CDL license? Would that be wrong?
“The truckers were the Knights of the highways.”
Key word: “were”. Even before the illegals came into the picture, truckers changed. In the ‘50s through the ‘80s, they seemed like friendly angels to us — because they were. Now they’re mean selfish pigs (IMO).
“Meet our new overlords: “the Asian Law Caucus and the Sikh Coalition.”
And the commie “judges” who cater to them....
I think it might be the only way these people understand the impact of their decisions.
